Considering I don't believe in him, I don't hold it against him for not showing up, and if I did see him, I'd check myself back into the mental hospital.
Quote:2. Do athiests hate God or do they hate organized religion in general?
I hate the concept of the Christian god, but not the entity himself because he does not exist. I also hat organized religion.
Quote:3. Why does it seem like athiests hate Jesus more than anyone, what do you think of Jesus?
I hate what Jesus symbolizes, which is the religion of Christianity. Other than that, I only hate the character of Jesus when he steers away from the 'love thy neighbor' message.
Quote:4. Do any of you know athiests that have converted to another religion, did you feel swayed by their conversion?
None whatsoever.
Quote:5. Are you an athiest based on your research of many of the top religions, or does your athiesm come from a personal experience where you feel that God didn't show up like he should have?
None of the above.
Quote:6. Since athiests don't believe in God and dislike when people force God on them, why do they force their negative and hateful opinions on Christians (and other religions) through mockery and verbal assault?
I try not to, but occasionally I'll throw in a good jab to other atheists about the silly things people will believe. Most atheists are hostile because your god is everywhere and it gets on our nerves.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
