Whose version? Drich's? Fr0d0's? Goodnews'? Catfish's?
Regardless, even if I were to say no, that does not mean I actually accept that it exists and I actually hate it. I wouldn't want Darth Vader to exist either, but that doesn't mean I think he exists and I hate him.
You have to remember that when atheists talk about your god being horrible and immoral, the only place we are accepting it exists is inside the head of believers. I hate the concept of god you have imagined, but thankfully, it does not exist. To truly hate your god, I would first have to accept that it exists, however, the inability of anyone that believes in it to demonstrate it is anything but a comforting delusion makes it quite easy to dismiss.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
