They simply dislike other people's ideas of god, namely popular ones such as the Christian God, or Muslim God(even though they're the same god, much diff. view).
Non-religious really dislike the idea of an existence with God, but love their Godless existence.
Humanists love them some humans.
Animal rights activists happen to love them some animals.
I can most definitely conjure up in my imagination, just as a majority of others can, a god that they would like to exist. However what I, and others "Want to exist" is irrelevant to what actually exists, so we even if we can imagine a god we'd like, we're still stuck believing the less favorable position to remain intellectually honest.
wallym Wrote:Non-religous people think "eternal happiness? meh." and "Dying isn't so bad."What a sad mindset. Hardly anybody thinks that. Everyone fears death, by that quote it almost seems like you're implying atheists are less fearing of death than theists, which is thoroughly not the case. Hell, I among any other rational person would LOVE to believe I would live for ever, who the fuck wants to die? Even the suicidal are only looking forward to death in order to end the pain in this life, so to say that anyone does not want to keep living past their presumable death, I think is a lie.
Religous people think "God's plan is good, even if it has bad stuff."
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
