Oh, I assure you that I have much more than hate.
I am, however, utterly disgusted by people who say things to the effect of "Join my club, or this guy I know will torture you." That is utterly rude and inexcusable, regardless of the motive. If it was a demonstrably real person who was going to do the torturing, and the threat of harm was credible, then the "Join my club" person could be arrested, tried and convicted on the crime of uttering threats. Because a god is the purported torturer, and the threat is not credible to an unbeliever, nothing can be done legally.
It's still a dick move, though, and it makes me want to have as little to do with Christianity as possible.
