RE: Can you be angry at "god" and simultaneously disbelieve its existence?

I understand that fictional characters can generate real emotions, but no, I don't feel angry at God. For instance, I'm disgusted by (the late) King Jeoffry from Game of thrones, but I never felt angry AT him. The God of the bible is a worse monster than Jeoffry, but I don't feel angry AT him. I feel he's a pretty poorly written character, with a lot inconsistant behavioral traits, so I have a hard time feeling much toward him as a fictional character.
