There's nothing wrong with anger, if it's justified. Hatred is wrong I think, as harbouring anger is destructive.
It's pretty easy to dismiss your unsubstantiated bullshit fr0d0, when you start providing reasons for your positions you might get better responses.
Oh, and I love how you use words like Positivism while not knowing what they mean. Positivism is an epistemological standpoint that holds science as the best way to determine the processes by which events occur in nature, and as you may have figured out by now, belief in God cannot be justified from a position of positivism you see, because conclusions in positivism are tentative and based on empiricism, of which you have none.
It is a replacement for metaphysics, you know that weak-tea bullshit you depend on to feel good about being irrational?
You need some philosophy 101 it seems.
Oh, and blind dismissal is all that is possible regarding empty claims such as your own.
