Ok, Atheists, come clean.., why do you hate God??? I want reasons, not dogmatic rhetoric.....................?

  • we don't love god nor we don't hate god because to us, he does not exist and hating something that doesn't exist is just foolish and frankly a waste of time!

    It's like If I'm asking you: Why do you hate the pink unicorn? You probably wont know what to answer because no evidence has proved the existence of a pink unicorn!

    God is just a character to us and if you ask me whether I hate this character, well, the answer would be yes. Why? You just have to read the Old Testament to know why I hate this character.

    Here is a few reasons:

    1. With his unlimited knowledge, he knew or foresaw that Lucifer, one of his creation, would later on turn into Satan and plunge this whole world into a mess and yet, He went on to create that angel so obviously he intended for evil to be in the world regardless of any plan B he had (Jesus etc).

    2. He punishes people who don't deserve the punishment: He hardens Pharaoh's heart and when Pharaoh refuses to let the Israelites go, he kills Egyptian first-born children, now how cruel and evil god character must be? where is Justice?

    3. He burns whole cities (Sodome and Gomorah) and floods the whole earth apart from one family. Now are you telling me that every single soul, babies etc in Sodome and Gomorah was sinful? Every single soul in the world deserved to die except Noah's family?

    And many more...

    Now if you try to justify this character in any way, that means that you have honestly closed your mind beyond reason! If you do however see at the least that there is something not all perfect love or justice here, then you see why anyone should hate this character.


  • You can't hate something that isn't there and doesn't exist.


  • I could not possibly hate something which does not exist! I do not hate anything - it is a pointless emotion and if it were to surface in my life I would be inclined to look within and see where those feelings are coming from. There is no opening here for rhetoric because I have nothing to convince you about - your God exists only in your own universe!


  • Why do you hate Odin or Amun Ra? What? You don't hate imaginary gods? The same is true for me, I don't hate imaginary beings of any sort.

    And, when I left Christianity is was based on a rational decision and not me having a "falling out" with God. No shouting at God or shaking my fists at Him, just a realization that he did not exist.


  • You can not hate that which you believe does not exist =)


  • I wouldn't hate something that isn't there, waste of time.
    but if you want reasons as to why i don't believe.

    RELIGION
    War
    Rape
    Murder
    Paedophilia
    Necrophilia

    Religion is the main cause of war, forcing the oposing side to change to their way of belief. A real God wouldn't feel the need to cause wars to feel he is being worshipped

    An ALL KNOWING god would not have put the snake in Eden because he knew that Eve would listen to it and eat from the forbidden tree. 'But he gave us free will' i hear you say. So he gave his children the oppourtunity to choose right from wrong, knowing she would do the wrong thing. Not a very nice man.

    An ALL LOVING god would stop all the heinous crimes being commited in the world. Which would not even be happening if he hadn't banished Adam and Eve from Eden for a wrong he knew they would commit. So we are punished for a crime we didn't commit and that he knew would happen

    An ALL POWERFUL god would put a stop to it, to everything bad. To children dying at 3months through lack of food, to women being raped numerous times during war, to teenagers feeling the need to carry guns and knives to protect themselves.

    An OMNIPRESENT god would not have let anything happen in the first place, he is everywhere, regardless of space or time. He can see the past, present and future. Why not stop it before its had a chance to begin?

    And a god that was BENEVOLENT would forgive his children for a crime he knew they would commit.

    No GOOD, KIND, LOVING god could let any of the above happen

    Is that a sufficient answer?


  • Hating god is an absurd observation, given that atheists don't believe in god in the first place.

    I don't believe in god because there is no proof of his existence. None. Exept what you call "faith" which is merely a feeling.

    Scientific evidence provides us with evidence of all manner of things, religion provides none. Except what can be read in an ancient book from the human race's infancy which can hardly be trusted.


  • explain how you can hate something which doesnt exist

    why do you hate your life so much?


  • i believe in god.
    but an athiest doesnt hate god.
    they just dont believe in him.
    an athiest is some one that doesnt believe in god.


  • You're confusing atheists with misotheists.


  • You're a r.e.t.a.r.d


  • From your simple deluded question it would seem that you are very angry and confused.

    I am not an Atheist but I know that atheists do NOT hate God.
    Atheists do not believe in God ... simple isn't it.

    Now go and seek help, no, not from God but from a psychiatrist.


  • Oh brother about all the other answers!! Will an honest atheist please show up here please!!!
    I am not an atheist, but would like to share my observations. I once watched a youtube video in which a christian and an atheist couple engaged each other in a public debate about creation vs evolution. At the end of the debate, the atheist woman said angrily "I would rather go to hell than to believe in a G-d who..." I forget the end of the sentence- a G-d who WHAT; that i dont remember. But i do remember how angry she sounded at this G-d she didnt even believe exists.
    I dont believe that all atheists are angry at G-d. I do believe some just aren't convinced there is a G-d. But i believe many atheists ARE angry at G-d. They are angry at Him for some painful experience(s) they've had in their lives, for not answering their prayers or whatever. They choose not to believe in G-d because that is less painful for them than to believe that G-d gave them these experiences, or did not give them what they've asked for.
    Now can an emotionally honest atheist come forward please?
    But from the responses we've seen here so far, i wouldnt hold my breath.


  • I'm an Atheist but as you have probably gathered from all the other comments, Atheists don't hate God, because to hate him would mean that we believe he exists, which we don't.

    But I would like to know... As an Atheist, if God really is real, why would he send me to hell just for wanting to live my life and not be controlled and live by his rules? Why is it all down to him how I live my life and what I do with it? That's unfair. Basically it's saying if you don't live the way he desires, he's gonna burn me in hell.

    That's why I don't believe. The Bible contradicts itself so much. If he is so merciful and kind and created us all, then why would he be that spiteful and sentence me to hell?

    Some God.


  • I really don't hate any part about religion or your or anyone Else's god. I just choose not to believe in him. If I see some evidence of his existence (cold, hard evidence, not some archaic book), then my ideas might change. I don't hate anyone or anything unless it does something negative to me or something somehow connected to me. So really all I have left to say to you is don't generalize any group, because you really don't know anybody unless you get to actually know them, and based on the question you have asked, I can assume that you don't know much about atheism or atheists.


  • atheists don't hate god they just don't believe in him.


  • There is no god for me to hate. If there was one I might like it but there isn't one. Why do I need a god? I can live my life well and get a job and be happy without serving some kind of Deity.


  • No atheist can hate god because an atheist doesn't believe in god(s). However, if you are referring to the Christian god, many atheists could hate the IDEA of that deity. Just read the Bible. Any sane person would find him positively despicable.


  • I hate God because he made leeks and I hate leeks.

    LOL

    In fact I don't hate God, I just don't believe in him or that he created leeks. That's what atheism means after all, non belief. If I hated him that would mean I believed in him, which I don't.

    There is a difference between atheism and anti-theist.


  • The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction : jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.


  • His cronies are always threatening me with hell and calling me names (abortionist, sinner, idiot....) I can't say I'm in favor of that kind of a God.


  • The good thing about being an atheist is that I don't need to ask which 'god'. I believe in none of them not just yours and i can't hate any of them.


  • how can you hate something that dont exist ?.....you either believe or you dont... end of story


  • I don't hate God; I just don't believe that he exists.


  • You can't hate someone or something which does not exist! If there were a god, I would not hate him, I'd think he was great. Why do you think that we 'choose' not to believe in god because we hate him. We simply have absolutely no reason what-ever, to believe in these stories.


  • Why do you hate the Easter Bunny?


  • I can't hate what I don't believe in. I'll leave dogmatic rhetoric to the religionistas.


  • cannot find it in me to hate nonexistent beings. Its an utter waist of time.


  • ok
    i am athiest
    i do not beleive in god
    that is it.
    if god could prove himself to me,that he is real i would beleive but there is simply no proof.


  • How do Atheists hate something that doesn't exist?


  • YAWN....2 points taaaaaaaaaaaaa
