Oh, the priests made very sure that we didn't like god when we were kids. Telling us that if we sin, god would take what's dearest to us, did the job just fine. But being a kid, I didn't reflect on the trinity and so I made a distinction between God and Jesus. I still liked him, just loathed the father.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
