I'm not sure what you want me to throw. This was your thread in which you wanted to discuss the positive things about Catholicism, but when it was pointed out to you that atheists don't see any value in those, you asked what happened to us and why we hate this supposed creator. That is a personal attack in place of an argument that implies that we do believe in a god, but we just have some character flaw that prevents us from admitting it.
So, what exactly are looking for?
