God.....

[WinterHold]

Hi everybody.

I really don't know why people hate god.


So, I would really like for people to state to me what their problem is with god, every tiny problem.

I think one of the common misconception among theists is that we atheists actually believe in a god but somehow hate that god for some perceived injustice or a desire to be heathens.

The logic of your question is badly flawed. To hate something one must accept that thing as true and valid. By its very definition, atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods. Therefore, asking and atheist why he hates god is like asking (I love this analogy) the marital status of the number 5. It just doesn't compute.

If you want answers, ask why we don't believe in a god. Ask why we hate religion and all of the accompanying separatism, discrimination, misogynistic viewpoints, controlling rules and financial insincerity.

See, god is not the problem because god doesn't exist. It is the evil that is carried out in his name that is the problem.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.
But I have seen that when discussing religion with atheists, there is a grudge against that god, some are even cursing.

I think it's also a hatred for his existence ; that the idea, of such god existing is painful to some people (not all).

Hell for example is one classic argument about why some people hate god.

Just condensing your post to a few points.

I really don't know why people hate god.
I believe it's due to a state of mixed understanding of the creator.

Mostly, because people mix the concept of god with another religions ; claiming that it's the same.

I have problems with some peoples' concepts of god such as he's a jealous, vengeful entity who punishes anyone who doesn't follow a particular denomination or sect within a specific religion. Mystical traditions can result in a concept of god which is very different.

I don't believe in god because of lack of evidence for any deity other than as subjective experiences produced by human brains - this is why I'm very interested in that branch of neuroscience which is investigating what happens in the brains of people who believe they are having a religious experience.

Interesting.
The first part of your comment is what I meant by the full cup.

The next part indicates that I'm insane : )
Thank you very much for the reply.
