@Lunatic
I personally would like to hear from Lunatic.
Who else wants my claim?

Casey’s MO doesn’t feel off. I dislike Mharman more.
Okay, so your scum pool consists of everyone who is suspicious of you?

Luna's and Pie's tunnel vision is definitely weird. At least Pie is generally aggressive. If this behavior out of the ordinary of Luna?

Him giving reads right away is kinda odd. I don’t think he’s ever done that before. I distinctly remember me needing to tell him to give reads cause he “town read” everyonez
As Mharman mentioned, I took a little break from mafia. This is because I was doing terribly at the game. (No explanation needed) I had a bit of extra time so I decided to give it another swing and make myself a little bit more tolerable of a player instead of just sitting there and doing nothing.
Is that the only reason you find me suspicious?

@Casey_Risk
I agree with your logic, but isn't Pie always crazy aggressive?

No matter how many times I watch it I can figure out the message WyIted is trying to send.

I think we can take Ana out of today's lynch pool. From what I can see, 14 messages is indeed peculiar. A mafia member wouldn't want to make themselves immediately stand out like that.
I also have a slight town read on White flame for their push back on revealing specific information.

Any ideas on how we could get the ball rolling? Perhaps we could give the opening sentence to our diary entries.

How do they know?! First they discover we're behind the hurricanes and now they know we caused the plane crash? We have a problem. It's only a matter of time before they realize we invented gun violence too!

I would definitely believe in God if I saw him immediately cease the blowing of the wind, trouble is, for such a large claim as that, I feel like more than one account is needed. In many cases, however, the Bible just states crazy things that don't make any sense, and don't have historical evidence.

Whatever the answers are to these questions, I have a hunch no amount of googling can resolve them all. People far smarter than I have tried, is it an appeal to authority to trust Einstein and Stephen Hawking simply know better than I do?
This mystery does provide a certain excitement to dying, though I am quite content living with only my earthly pleasures. If I am wrong, and the Chrisitan god exists, I know that he'll completely understand my reasoning for atheism. Better than I do. If he throws me into "an eternal pit of fire," that's not a god that I want to worship.

African slavery is written in human history. What more evidence do you need.
I meant for his existence in general

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?

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?

How on earth does that make anything okay? That does not justify literal rape!
And you didn't even touch on anything else.

Could any of you perhaps explain the following?
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (NIV):
If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
The punishment for rape is paying a fine and then perpetually raping the victim? That is messed up.
There is also some stuff about slavery. Take Exodus 21:20-21 (NIV):
Anyone who kidnaps someone and either sells them or still has them when they are caught must be put to death. Anyone who kidnaps a man must die. Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a result. However, if the slave recovers after a day or two, they are not to be punished; for the slave is their property.
Right from the word of god: people=property. Don't tell me that literal god had to bend his command around the acceptance of mortals. He's god. Also, even if you weren't going do condemn slavery, why do you have to validate it?
Then, there's the minor genocide god oversees in Joshua 6:21 (NIV):
They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
What did the babies do?! Generally god at least spares the virgins for the men to rape after they killed their families.
Deuteronomy 21:10-14 (NIV):
When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife.
And of course, these people are going to go to heaven. They got permission from god to do these things, whereas atheists completely deserve eternal torment for keeping an open mind.

He he must have found out the annual super secret atheist Satan summoning. I suppose I can see how'd you mistake that for a religion.

Well, you're already an infinite use vigilante.
Anybody who can't e is extremely bigoted, and they need to accept Pie for who he is.

I think Mharman is taking inspiration from this mafia setup
It's actually quite clever. Despite this being a clown game, the town still strategy involved. Thoughts?

Owen sat at his computer, feeling the insanity begin to grasp at his mind. Resistance was futile. He knew that. He keeled over and giggled manically.
