IF we don't believe he exists we can hate him. It's about the same as hating snakes because they deceived a woman. It doesn't make sense, and time has told the story.

The entire problem that you have, EOM, is the average atheist just doesn't believe in god. They base that on factual evidence, not emotion. I do mean really, when are YOU going to unlearn the pathetic shitty guilting that cult members use to worship? I've read the bible, and you're pretty far from Jesus Christ's way of teaching in the bible.
How long have you been out of the cult? It will take time to get this out of your life for good.

EOM: Let me re-ask my question since you missed it and i think it is very important for you to understand the average atheists mind.
I once saw a documentary about a people who lived in the rainforest. They believed very strongly in several Gods who, apparently, lived in trees and caused various illnesses (as an atheist i might ad that the fact they looked pretty inbread, under-fed and allways had like 6 mosquitos around them may have played in, but i digress). Anyway, once in a while an elder would deside to get some of the Gods on the phone and get high. Then, the Gods would tell the elder that the most sensible thing to do was to go out and kill someone from the neighbouring tribe and eat him/her, which they would then proceed to do.
Here is my point: The suffering of the guy who was eaten, and of his family, was very real. It is an barbaric thing to go out and eat somones dad, wife or mom just because an old asshat ate some bad mushrooms.
But that was their religion. As an atheist, i may wonder why the Gods not for once said: "Hey, just ask the TV-crew to give the kid a malaria shot, that will fix him up" or "Dont eat others, it does not help", and this is one of the reasons i, like you, do not believe that the elder actually got hold of any gods: They did not exist, the mushrooms made him think they did. I am sure you will agree with me on that point.So we have a bunch of imaginary Gods calling murder and canibalism upon the innocent and i ask you this: Do you hate these blood-thirsty Gods, or does the story not just reinforce your view they are not real?

I would rather think of myself as one that hates God, believing that He is infinitely wicked, and that Satan (and Jesus) both tried to set the world free from His stifling influences. Both failed, while God continues having a world that cannot break free from tyranny.

EOM: I'm speaking of those who say they hate God, the bloodthirsty, etc, etc, on top of not believing in him.
One of the most stupid statements I've ever read -- ANYWHERE.
