I guess that's the point really. I don't hate god. I simply don't have any faith in his existence and I think the chances he does exist are about 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 to 1 based on the current lack of evidence and the improbability of such an entity.
I do hate the things some Christians, Jews, Muslims, Mormons, and Hindus do in because they do believe in him. But I don't really hate any of the people of those faiths generally and blasphemy hurts no one but believers. So blasphemy just for the fun of it hasn't much appeal.
I do like parodies like pastafarianism because they might possibly educate believers, if not in the error of their beliefs, at least in the efficacy of the First Amendment.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
