I could well ask you why it is that you hate Zues, Apollo, Odin, Thor. In fact I will, using the exact same logic that you employ I will assume that you do indeed hate these characters and ask you why?
What I hate is people trying to impose their own ideology arrogantly on others because they believe they are right, no, they know they are right and anyone who does not accept what they accept must be wrong.
I guess it's easy to say that it seems athiests hate God because of all the mockery, assault, etc. Personally since I don't believe in Allah I rarely mention him. I don't believe in Apollo or Zues, therefore I barely ever waste my time speaking about them, but when I see people starting threads about how much they're annoyed and can't stand this or that, I just questioned the reason behind it. I'm not trying to convince anyone I'm right and instead of deciding how people feel about God, Jesus, organized religion, I expressed my views on what it seems like athiests think and am thankful that athiests responded to correct me. It is not my intention to disrespect any of you, just remember that even though this is your place, you've given me the ability to express my opinion among you. Thank you.
