Doe it really matter if God exists or not...?

If we base our morality on the bible or other ancient books, most people would probably be stoned to death. Non-believers would be beheaded. Women who tell a man what to do would be slapped. Gays, transgenders and jews would be killed. But we have changed our morality and culture drastically in only a few ages. This means to me we don't need God or ancient books to define our morality. Thus God doesn't exist.

I didn't say anything about the bible but i do believe that a lot of the information in the bible is misinterpreted

and yes we've now tilted from excluding lgbt people to going after white male people... so truly nothing has changed since it is in man's nature to be conpassionate to his "kin" and antagonistic to those outside of their preffered social grouping

which is why a concept beyond man's scope is useful in terms of moral structures

You can't misinterpret leviticus 20:13. ''Misinterpretation'' is a common term used by religious people to make up for the awful things that are described in their holy book. The things we ''misinterpretate'' were taken seriously in the middle ages and before and religious extremists still do take it seriously these days. You can't say they are wrong, since they literally do what the bible is telling them. It makes them even better people in the eyes of God according to that logic.

The Old and New testament are rules made up by people because they knew the things described in the bible do not correlate with us anymore. People would lose faith without the Old/New testament excuse. Never did God show his face through the clouds and said ''I did some epic thinking about the bible last night with Hey There Delilah on the background and now for no reason I'll punish you if you follow these parts of the bible''

Morality changes, always, with or without God. This is because we change and continue to change.
