― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
Sounds like, “God does not exist…and I hate Him” to me.
The Twilight characters do not exist and yet we can hate them as the characters they represent. It is common practice to love or hate fictional characters. Loving or hating them does not allude to their existence in reality, however, because the average reasonable individual knows how to differentiate between reality and fiction.
