Wow, so much to unpack here...I was giving a summary of their attitude, how do you infer wrongly I didn't talk to them? I know them and try to evangelize from time to time, but their response is 'Not Interested' and 'There is no God' ,which couldn't be more different than a wannabe-atheist like you, who keep answering and asking questions as if you have an axe to grind with God.
First of all, most people don't like having someone else's religion pushed at them, which is probably why they tell you to go away and that they aren't interested. If I knew you in person and every time I saw you I got preached at, I'd probably tell you to go away every time as well. I don't even like discussing it in person, I only do it online. In person, I find, it gets to the point where people interrupt each other and it just breaks down into a yelling match.
Secondly , you call me a "wanna be atheist?" There's a rule on this site against telling someone that they do not hold the faith they claim to hold (even if it is atheism, which is not a religion at all). You are breaking the rules by saying I am just a wanna-be atheist. I'm happy to believe you were unaware of this rule, but if you do it again, I will report you.
Thirdly, for me to have an axe to grind with God, it would require that I believe in God. I do not. I don't believe in God, Jesus, Satan or any other character from the Bible.
I do not say that those opinions are invalid, I say those opinions can't be shown to be valid. The difference is subtle but important.You often claim that others' opinions are invalid because they are not based scientific proof or concrete evidence the way you want it (your way to discredit others) yet your own claim that 'most atheists are looking for evidence of God' is not based on science or concrete evidence either. You contradict yourself.
It's just like how I can say, "I do not think there is a cat sitting outside my front door," but I can't say "I think there is no cat sitting outside my front door."
One is saying that there is a lack of sufficient evidence for the presence of something, and the other is saying there is sufficient evidence for the absence of something.
By the way, a quick Google search got me a lot of results about atheists asking for evidence of God. So it's a pretty common thing.
