Well... If we are to believe "wishy-washy" and possibly dishonest Christian sentiments - god LOVES the sinners. Still, he can subject them to tortures and disasters, not to mention neglect - in this life and the next. If that's love - sure, I can love the believers. Where's my whip?
"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one." - George Bernard Shaw
