What would you do if you found out God existed

It's not so much they hate the idea of a god.  They just find the way you guys describe your god to be an evil prick.  I mean what kind of god says "I'm going to punish you for not believing in me, and then give you no evidence to do so!"  What kind of god says "I'm going to punish you for having sexual relations with someone of the same sex, because I really care about that shit for some reason.' Evil prick incarnate.

I agree that some religious people do that.
But in many cases; traits like "greatness", "infinite lifespan", "pureness","strength"...etc are quite hated by atheists.

It's the same discussion I've been having: humans are the worst of the creatures ever walked earth, so punishment should not be that surprising. If believe in God dictated that a certain doctrine would be followed to avoid the bloodbath humans always drench themselves into; then how is that different from secular systems and non-religious doctrines that call for the exact same thing; but isolating religion too?

God punishes if we sin. The government punishes if we sin.
God has a hell. The government has prison.
God has Saints. The government has cops.

If Obama and God disagree on something; it doesn't mean they are so different. One of them is copy-catting the other and playing his role. Obama is the copycat in my view. God prohibited homosexuality; Obama legalized homosexuality.

I see it as a difference in opinions; that's all. We theists prefer to be on God's side of the deal. IDK; but it stinks to believe serial killers get away with what they do after death. Afterlife seems more of a decent belief.
