Huggy pointed out some of the responses that people have posted which appear to contradict the "I'm not angry at God" position that many claim. I said thanks. Big whoop.
But it occurs to me why it's so important for folks in this forum to deny being angry at God...because that unveils them as actually believing that He exists. How can you be angry at something that simply doesn't exist?
Now, don't get me wrong (like that's not gonna happen anyway), I know that there are quite a few members of the forum who are not angry atheists. You can tell by their calm, casual responses and posts that they are simply not all wound up. They're just few and far between, aren't they?
Others (and I would probably include you in this group, frankly) are REALLY aggressive and pissed off. Or am I completely wrong about you?
Maybe we're reacting strongly because we get this condescending, misrepresenting shit from you and other theists A LOT, and it ain't nice having words put in your mouth by someone who is only looking to feel superior?
As I've explained, the responses quoted by Huggy were answers to a hypothetical question. The posters made a moral judgement of a fictional character they don't believe exists and concluded that their moral code would not let them worship him. They can't be mad at a character that they don't believe is real, and I severely doubt any of them does. I don't believe anybody here is a closeted maltheist, secretly believing in god and holding some psychotic hateful grudge against him.
I don't know why you're ignoring what I say. You've already accused me of being mad at god once, so I guess you're talking about me.
And I'll repeat, just in case you didn't get it the first three times: I don't blame your god, your church, or anyone for what happened with me.
I'm repeating myself because it matters to me that my opinions are properly understood and not strawmanned....again. so for fuck's sake, quit telling us what we believe.
