ATHEISTS ARE JUST TOO MUCH

[GTWT]

As an ex-atheist myself, I can tell you that the basic atheist position is: God does not exist and I hate him.

Sounds like you were never really an atheist.

This discussion reminds me of this scene and I think Jake Taylor's statement at the end needs to be taken to heart.

He is making a tongue-in-cheek comment about how atheists feel, and I have seen it demonstrated as well with people who have had a bad experience in a church growing up.

Some 'christian' makes fun of a person, places extremely stringent rules on them, or wrongs them in some way, and that person immediately passes those attributes to God. They blame Him, deny Him, yet harbor resentful feelings against the same deity they deny when their real problem is with some pretentious a-hole who hides behind a God who will one-day expose him/her.

Hence: "God does not exist and I hate him."

I'm not saying every person who denies a God exists has had this experience, but I've seen many who have.

For example:

Eh, I know one thing. If the God of my childhood is real, I'll take the express ticket to hell, and I'll gladly supply the matches and lighter fluid because that guy is a total dick who I wouldn't want to spend five minutes with let alone eternity.

Oldguystudent, I hate that your perception of God is this way. I'd love to buy you a beer, sit down and talk about it someday.

Any person who would say anything of the sort is irrational.

MeanGreenTexan, I understand the tendency of Christians to think atheists hate them & their God. But I think this is a classic case of projection.

Wishing Hell on those who disagree with you - a very Christian attitude.

Even if I were granted some great power to wish people to Hell, I really don't think I would be one to wish anyone there. Well, on second thought there could be some Hitler types that might see the power of my wrath.
