Playing it safe with your answer by picking a common anatomy common in all.
I was thinking dumb as a post troll, but crappy bot makes sense.
Try focusing on the discussion at hand instead of trying to malign people with labels.

label (as distinct from signage) is a piece of paperplastic filmclothmetal, or other material affixed to a container or product, on which is written or printed information or symbols about the product or item. Information printed directly on a container or article can also be considered labelling.

I can search words on wiki too! Yay for me!

Mentally or verbally to label anyone as less than Godlike is to libel or slander that individual, to bear false witness against him.

That is being self aware of your limitations.

Being socially retarded stops me from sucking other dicks. Its all part of God's plan to keep me a virgin. Not sure why.

God wants you both to be regarded and a virgin so he makes you a total reject.

God made you a reject but he did not give you cancer. He was treating you like an adult.

Cancer would be a relief at this point.

So you would prefer God who made you retarded and a virgin and a total reject also gave you cancer to give you relief at this point. That is asking God for a lot of favours. And you are not even a believer.

You won’t appreciate it even if all your wishes are granted because you will still be a reject maybe a religious reject.

Why are you asking God to make you suffer? Do you want to be obligated to God?

Thank you all for the responses, especially Lemming. They've definitely helped see the other side and open up my mind. A lot of the responses make sense, like the ones about rape punishment. Though, there are still a few other issues that still give me pause.

For example, a common point raised is that slavery is okay in the bible, because it was okay in the time period of the bible. God was communicating with people in a way they could accept and understand. What I don't get, is that this is an issue that an omnipotent being has. God is, by definition, omnipotent. Then why can't he work his way around a few communication hurdles? He knows that his word will still be relevant in the future, so why does he only address a certain time period? 

Another big reason I'm atheist, and that I neglected to state earlier, is that if the stories of the bible were true, (blood turning into water, the resurrection) these are giant events. Why then, do we have such little historical documentation of these huge events, that supposedly were witnessed by hundreds to thousands of people. 
I grant that there is evidence for the resurrection, but such a big claim needs a big amount of evidence to back it up, and we only have a few written accounts from the bible.

Why wouldn't God give us more evidence? That's not rhetorical. If it's so bad to not believe in him, then why didn't he make the truth obvious?

African slavery is written in human history. What more evidence do you need.

Well, for one, in this part of the Bible, does God say to destroy every living thing, or did Joshua?
"So Joshua subdued the whole region, including the hill country, the Negev, the western foothills, and the mountain slopes, together with all their kings. He left no survivors; he totally destroyed all who breathed, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded."

I could be wrong, but in all the cases of the Israelites committing genocide, it was a command from God. If it wasn't a command from God, then why would God allow that to be in the bible?

Hitler had a good life. It took the world to end his reign. No one has achieved the same success.
