Why do you hate God?

[Brian37]

I understand that there are many different reasons as to why one chooses to become an atheist.

You can see from the responses so far, that people who were raised Christian and became atheist still think in terms of sola scriptura literalism.

That is, they can't conceive of mythical writing or allegory as anything other than literal truth. Nor are they aware of how many important Christians in history reject sola scriptura literalism. 

This is why I think so many atheists left their church at about age 12 and stopped learning anything about it from then on. Their conception of Christian belief is that of a 12-year-old. This is then reinforced by poorly-informed people like Hitchens, who has led many sheeple astray.

Hitchens poorly informed? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHA! OOOOOOOOkayyyyy. 

FYI, funny how Christians move the goal posts. It is literally truth to them, until we call out the absurdity of the claim then all the sudden it becomes allegory or metaphor.  Um no. The move to hiding behind "allegory" or "metaphor" is recent in theist apology. Back when the first books were written, those fantastic stories were believed to be literally true. 

Yep typical theist dodge, "It says what it says until it says something else."
