God (noun) is a (identifier) wrathfull (adjective) God (noun). God (noun) hates (verb) Fags (noun sorry if this offends :S any1). My point was there are few places in the Bible where God is actually described with an identifier.Yeah the bible really sucks as to what a god is.

They pick out all the negative ones and say "That God's an a hole, f*** believing in that" when an actual description of the concept of God (specifically it's integral parts) should be in the identity criteria of the nouns identified to it.Atheists pick? Have you lost 'm all? Theists attribute without reservation all sort of things to their god. The reason that we're having this discussion is because you are doing that yourself. Where does the bible say that god is love? You've made it up yourself or worse you are parotting some fabulating theist douchebag. Atheists are not the ones constructing some god.

Love of god is a vacuous concept based on confirmation bias. For a junkie it is in the syringe, but where is it for the kid with cancer? It seeks to dehumanize us by suggesting that our love is not complete and to dereason us with an imprint of myth and it completely fails to shed any light on what your god is.
Searched for "capitonyms" everywhere but it seems that that is a word you've invented yourself.

However, my point was that a majority of atheists whom I've spoken to on this particular subject are cherry picking their own biased version of a literal, materialistic Bible, when the Bible as a whole has nothing to do with materialism, proof or literal interpretation.They are confused by the many god concepts theists pick and choose randomly from their bibles, korans and what have you. But you can mend that all now by giving the one and only clear concise coherent consistent definition of that god of your bible..
