I Love You Enough to Burn You

[Cinjin]

... I hate his hateful god ...

You hate something you don't believe exists? Ain't that a conundrum.

I'm a deist dude ... I believe in God ... that allows me priveleges the atheists don't have. Bite me.

You said that I hate something that I don't believe exists. That's actually both true and false.
About a month ago my friends and I were discussing the movie Hostel. When my sister in law interjected with, "... is he that guy who tricks the boys and ends up killing that one kid?" ... "I hate that guy". In one sense she knows that there is no "guy" and that she can't possibly hate an actor, but what she's really trying to proclaim is that she hates all the evil qualities that that fictional character has come to possess.

So, no, your god does not exist to me ... and yet he does - in that he embodies all the horrible characteristics that your religion has assigned him. He's fake, in the sence that I know he does not physically exist, but he is real in the fact that the sorrow and suffering caused in his name is very tangible. In fact, one could argue that ANYTHING that causes mankind to murder one another is worthy of hatred. Physically real or metaphorically real - it's still suffering caused indirectly by that entity.

Plus, doesn't matter if he's real to me - he's real to you - and I've seen what your people are capable of in his name.
