take some personal responsibility for yourself
The gruesome human sacrifice of Jesus is not good news or glorious. If you deserve to go to hell, then take some personal responsibility for yourself, be an adult, and just go. Stop trying to weasel out of your responsibilities and glorify the murder of someone so you don't have to face justice.
stop using beliefs to destroy the education system
I think atheists would not care what Christians believe if Christians would stop using their beliefs to destroy the education system, the government, and oh yeah to murder people.
black shoes.
"the Jehovah's witnesses teach that only 144000 people will enter heaven, which is absurd." Joseph András Löbb I have a friend who says leprechauns where green shoes - talk about absurd! Everyone knows leprechauns wear black shoes.
rape might be "wrong"
I guess that is the advantage of defending a logically incoherent text
like the OT. You can grasp desperately as you have done to a vague
reference and twist it to your desire - as if the OT has some strong
condemnation of rape and completely ignore that oh so many other -
stronger encouragements to rape, especially in the vain that women and
children are property. OT rape might be "wrong" if it damages other
people's property, but nothing in the OT suggests Fritzl is anything
except a saint.

There is no evil
If you wish to assert there is such thing as evil, you must demonstrate it.
However, for your demonstration to be effective you will have to show that something is not just bad, but factually evil and that would require it to be pure evil.
If you cannot demonstrate these things, the best you can do is argue that when YOU don't like something YOU call it evil, which has no meaning to anyone else.
And so - if you wish there to be evil in the world, either it has to come from your own desire for something to considered evil or you have to demonstrate something that is pure evil - that no person could ever deny it is evil and that nothing good can ever come from it.
The problem then is that even the worst thing can be used as a bad example and that fact negates the entire notion of evil - except in the case it is your desire to call something evil.

The heaven of the Bible is antithetical to love.
The heaven of the Bible is antithetical to love. No loving person could exist in the Christian heaven, unless their ability to love was first removed from them.
The basis of morality
All
morality is based on love, it has nothing to do with atheism or
religion, its more about how much you understand the concept of love.
Love is objective in that one of its facets includes maintaining or increases the well-being of others, but it is subjective as well because it should be skewed toward the meek and identifying the meek is objective.
