Non-existing beings in the sky do not need to commit to those kinds of decisions.

Clear and to the point. But we know that there is minimal logic or none in religion. Just some brain washing.

Why do atheists spend so much time talking about god (Yes, I know, I no longer capitalise his name or pronouns)

Very true... I wish others could understand this and have their blessed day.

There are rejoinder's to Epicurus. Augustine thought that human evil is the lack of goodness and that god created man with free will, so that man creates evil as a consequence of his freedom. Also, natural evils are only evils in so far as we know, that god is in the position to be able to put it all together so that what we experience as evil fits into his plans.
The issue I think is what is meant by the word god. The classical conception of god as a kind of super duper, all knowing, all powerful regent is crap in my opinion. There are other conceptions of god which have much more to do with one's intimate experience of faith, as a calling. A calling I have not heard, but I still can appreciate.

Love it.

I'm amazed this has not toppled all belief in god. The logic is inescapable.

Exactly

Very nice chain of logic.
