What are your answers?

[Kayenneh]

I'll answer these without reading anyone else's first, so that I actually give my own opinion

1. Are athiests just wounded people, upset that God hasn't shown himself to them in a way they deem acceptable? Meaning, if he suddenly appeared you would believe?

Wounded? No. I was a believer a long time and thought that God showed himself to me in many ways. When I started to doubt and went down the path of atheism, nothing changed per se. Life is still wonderful, I just better understand the world around me nowadays.
If there actually was a god, I'm wondering why he in that case hasn't showed himself before. Nope, I need massive and undoubtable proof of his existence. To answer the question I think you're asking: yes, I could admit if I was wrong.

2. Do athiests hate God or do they hate organized religion in general?

A) I don't hate. It's a vile feeling that rarely brings anything good.
B) How can I hate something that don't exist? I feel as much dislike for the fictional character "God" as I would for say, Voldemort or Sauron.
C) Organized religion takes so much good out of life. There are of course some good sides to it, at least to it's followers, but I can't stand ignorance, and religion equals self-imposed ignorance to me.

3. Why does it seem like athiests hate Jesus more than anyone, what do you think of Jesus?

Again, to me he's a character in a book. Cannot hate something that didn't exist. My opinion is that his writers gave him some good quotes, like the golden rule, but he supposedly said a lot of bullshit too. There are so many better written male leads in other books, though.. :p

4. Do any of you know athiests that have converted to another religion, did you feel swayed by their conversion?

Not personally. To me it would be like breaking my own neck and live like a cripple for the rest of my life.

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?

I like to think and question. It doesn't suit well with religion. I prayed daily and thought that my prayers were answered, thus thought there was a god that cared. When I stopped praying and my stroke of amazingly good luck continued, I knew that I had been a fool.

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?

Now I have to ask you what you mean by negative and hateful opinions? I cannot deny that there's fundamentalist atheists, who's opinions I could never agree with and I can consider those hateful. As I earlier mentioned, I cannot agree with the degree of stupidity that religion holds and what their make believe gods demand of their followers. Of course there are wonderful, kind and decent people of faith, but they still support a system that advocates idiocy.

My only opinion concerning life without religion is this:

You are alone and insignificant, but to yourself and a few selected people around you, you are truly important. You make your own fortune, if you're content with your decisions, you won't regret your life. Life is short and unlikely, so be grateful that you were sentient enough to perceive this marvellous world. Death comes to all, and it is final, so make the most of the time you have at hand. Be kind to yourself and those around you, and strive to make this world a little bit better before you leave it.

Now, is this hateful, I ask you? I do not force my opinions on anyone, hey, I'm not supposed to "go out and baptise them in his name", but if asked I will give my sincere opinion.

As for the mockery and verbal assault, sometimes it's hard to keep one's cool, and both sides in this debate have spoken unfair and mean words. And unfortunately, being really clever makes it boring to converse with stupid people, so sometimes the frustration might get the better of someone..
