I doubt I could put it any better than LastPoet. However, black36, you seemed to ignore the bit that many atheists used to be christians. Ironically, my own journey to atheism started with wanting to find out for myself what god wanted given the endless contradictory versions that keep springing up. It took years, but I finally realized god, Jesus, church, and religion are all smoke and mirrors. As for god, I don't hate him - I do think that as a literary character he does rank right up there with Pap Finn (from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) and Sauron (from The Lord of the Rings) in terms of evilness.
