Big Jim, it would seem that you don't believe in God, that is your right, your freedom to do so is why God doesn't force Himself down your throat. He could have made us believers by force or even design, but he wanted us free to make our own choice, He wants us to love Him by choice, not force.

There are two forces in this world vying for mans soul. The force of evil(Satan) and good(God). Religion can be controlled by Satan or God. Satan will use religion to make God look evil, while God will use Christianity to do good and try to save mans soul, the choice is up to man, God will not force you to choose Him, Satan will use every means available to get you to choose him, not because he loves you, but because he hates God, in who's image you are made. Man's soul will live on forever, you are given a choice where it will live. Atheist believe that this world is all there is, they hope they are right because they don't want to accept the judgement for their sinful lives. They don't have to, Jesus already paid for their sins, but they must believe and accept that fact, if they don't, then they are still responsible for their sins.

If you don't believe in God, then for sure you don't believe in the bible, so it is useless for me to quote the bible to you to show where you are wrong. All I can do is pray for you. I love you as a fellow human being and I would hate for you to be lost. Read the bible with an open heart and open mind and ask God to reveal the truth to you.
