So I am a deviant thinker am I? And you know this because your belief in a deity gives you a direct line to the brains of other people so you know what they think. How do you cope with all those voices in your head. There is a name for it, it is called schizophrenia, I would suggest you see a psychiatrist immediately.

The most sensible thing you have said is "realistic" and "wise".
It is realistic to look at and study the research of science which has proven beyond all doubt that the earth evolved and that we are the products of that evolution. If you can give me empirical, properly published scientific proof of the existence of a deity who put this all together and then created these creatures who are determined to destroy each other, then maybe I will read it.
Please, before reading anything I say, look up the word satire and cynic. I’m the most godless man alive, and damn proud of it. Mostly.

I think I know what cynics and satirists are.
If you are going to put a sentence in a paragraph that does not naturally follow the previous one, maybe you should make a new paragraph. I think I have misread your meaning before. The way it is written, it reads like you are saying that atheists are deviant thinkers, well that's how I read it anyway.
Try writing more cogent cynical satire.

There’s nothing wrong with being deviant. Not only that, but I’m not too worried about my writing skills.

Sonofabitch, it’s hard to type while someone’s piercing your cheek, not the one on your face either!

Regarding God's omnipotence, I've always found this paradox to be interesting and thought-provoking:

If God is omnipotent, can he create a stone that even he can't lift?

If so, he would no longer be omnipotent. If not, he wouldn't have been omnipotent in the first place.
