It's not unconditional love, it's VERY conditional. So I say fuck off with that. It's too fucking stupid for me.
I'm not shaking my fist at your god, because your God doesn't exist. I'm shaking my fist at your stupid fucking religion, started by people over two thousand years ago that people today believe in for pretty stupid fucking reasons.
Wouldn't it be great if God just let you have your own way all the time?
Pretending he doesn't exist accomplishes that for you except that like the author of the article in the OP, you know you're just lying to yourself.
(And knowing this really, really pisses you off.)
Again, believing in God doesn't seem to impair believers from doing what they want any more than atheists. It's clear that belief in God is quite compatible with doing what you want.
Are you saying that atheists have too much integrity to believe in God and also do what we want?

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
