I guess you can continue to tell me I'm wrong when I tell you the impression I had that many atheists don't like the idea of a god (whether correct or not) came from this forum. Not from anything I learned in the Church.
I was raised RC. But it doesn't have to be stated in dogma or teachings. Our culture pushes that idea into people.
I didn't say you were lying. Just blind to the effects of your religion.
Speak for yourself then. Maybe you had a different experience but MY "culture" didn't push any idea about ahteists being angry at God. We didn't sit around talking about atheists, and the reason I joined this forum to begin with was because I didn't know much about them.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
