You've never read the bible have you? This is based all on Faith which means believing without seeing it. Now I can logically see how everybody is very sinful and how angry that we would all make a perfect God be.
I can see how not a single person in this world that has ever lived deserves anything other than death. I can see how we can't meet up to the standards of this God and that we need somebody to do it all for us.
Have you ever actually read any of my posts before? If you had, you'd know just how familiar with the Bible I am. The problem with believing in the Bible on faith alone is that the other guy takes his different religious text as the unquestionable word of their god/gods too, and there's simply no good reason whatsoever to assign greater likelihood to one unprovable deity over another.

I can also see how this life is essentially worthless as everything is basically man made which does not bring about true satisfaction for all time. Only a God could do that. Besides this life is only temporary and the entire Universe is thought to be about 13 billion years old. We only live to about 80 or so years now.
The fact that we're alive for a mere blink of an eye in comparison to the age of the universe (~13.73 billion years) is what gives our lives almost infinite value. As far as we know, our planet is unique in the universe in that it contains life. At the very least, we haven't found evidence of life anywhere else. Maybe you find no meaning or "true satisfaction" in life without a god to fill a hole in your life, but that simply doesn't hold true for everyone. What you might call "true satisfaction" is boring as hell to someone else.

Everything makes perfect sense and based on that and through some personal experiences that I have had which has changed ME but will not change YOU I believe. I BELIEVE!
So the fact that your god gives you personal experiences so that you can believe means he loves you. Meanwhile, the fact that your god has not given me any personal experiences so that I can believe, and has not bestowed upon me any amount of faith with which to believe (Ephesians 2:8) even though I sincerely asked in prayer (Matthew 7:7) for two years during my transition from Christianity to atheism means that your god must not love me.
All-loving God? Disproved. But hey, you're free to believe and waste your short and infinitely precious 80 years of life worshiping a deity that's in all likelihood not even there. Good luck with that.
