The "anger" is never at the pretense of a designer, it's at morons can't seem to see all of the shit that belies a designer. The selective pattern seeking that makes you so sure the world was designed is your evolved brain. In reality, the only portions of the cosmos that are hospitable to life are a negligible portion of the whole. There are so many terrible design flaws all around us (and within us) that even a middle schooler could design a better version.
Don't confuse our anger at people like you with anger at your imaginary friend, MK.
The question is, "But are you angry at the middle schooler?"
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
