"However, there
would be less contradictions if she has sent you a valentines day card before, or given you a kiss, or winked
at you, or hinted to her friends that she loves you. "
Yes, you could arrive at the conclusion she loves you if she had send you any valid demonstration of her feelings like with a card, kiss, wink. But, alas in the case of God, god has not given you any demonstration whatsoever, yet you are 100% sure of his existence.
You provide all sorts of analogies and examples which actually contradict your own faith, so maybe you should stop trying to waste your and everyone's time.
As far as bottom line goes, if you say something exists then you are the one that has to prove it.
Your stance about morality through religion is wrong. Morality comes from one's nurturing as bathroomcoffee said. When a baby is born, his morality is blank. The mom, dad, family and society puts morality into the child. You are confused at this point because most of the moms/dads/families are heavily influenced by religion so you fail to understand the difference between morality instilled by surrounding/nurturing and that by religion.
You are right atheism leaves no accountability but that's also true for religeous folks who are not intellectually of sound capability. We have seen both followers of religions and non believers commit heinous crimes and the crimes have more to deal with the personal tendencies of individuals than of religion or lack thereof.
So back to square one. Without any proof over the last thousands of years, all religious supernatural phenomenon are nothing but cheap publicity and folk tales. As civilizations have become more intelligent, there are less and less cases of charlatans trying to trick people into believing divine powers.
If you believe in those things, it just points to your lack of intellectual capabilities which makes you easility susceptible of falling for those folktales and stories of grandeur.
