No, I don't take your criticism as being hateful towards me.
As for the Quran, it's okay that you despise the book just like all the other fairy tales.
But I have my own reasons for believing in it's divine origin. I've summed up the points in this thread: Atheism vs. the Quran.
And as you can see, theVOID crushed all my arguments into pieces, and I've been procrastinating to reply to some of the posts in that thread because they're too long, as well as in another thread in this post by annatar. But still, I'm in the process of recalculating certain things about the Quran and why it is more unlikely to be the work of a man. So I'm not done yet. I'm always learning.
