The association is simply the impression I've gotten; which I'm open to being false. Hence why I wonder if there are atheists here that agree with the Christian narrative that God is love, while maintaining that he is fiction.
I went back an scanned through this thread. A couple people mentioned guilt/fear regarding their growing sense of non-belief. God vs. Evil wasn't really a reason outlined by the people who responded here.
If you are going to ask a question and you have an answer that you want (ie - mad at God/God is evil) maybe you could just let us know from the jump what your endgame is. It would save a lot of time.
You don't have to twist yourself into a believer pretzel in order to force the answer you want to hear - the answer you have already decided upon. You obviously aren't going to listen to what answers you get.
Lesson learned, for me, at least. You are going to ask questions and then try to mold the answers to fit the narrative in your head regarding atheists.
