get it straight, God and allah are different beings. allah was the moon god of the old tribes of the Arabian peninsula. one of many gods they worshipped before given one choice. God as Christians view Him, is the creator of all. and whats so stuid or evil? he offers us eternal life for free?

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I wouldn't hate her. If God exists, she probably doesn't possess any intelligence in a manner that makes 'hate' a sensible response.

You get it straight. So gullible. If you're honest you'll realize the truth of what I'm about to say.
God has never offered anyone eternal life. Other people have offered the deal on God's behalf, but God has never made the offer. Yet another example that supports the non-existence of your God. Also, your characterization of the deal is wrong for two reasons.
First, God is not purported to offer eternal life; that seems to be a given. What's being offered is a destination, neither of which has ever been demonstrated. Regardless of destination, all evidence suggests there is no eternal life.
Secondly, you saying that what is offered is free is slimy and dishonest. Sure, you can make the case that no money is required, but there certainly are conditions.
It must really suck to be so gullible.

Almighty meddler? Bitter hatred.
Not nearly so almighty, but meddled with me? Bitter hatred.
Didn't meddle with me, almighty or otherwise? Hey, I get that shit happens.

I do not hate God, I hate the *character* of God as he is portrayed. If that makes sense.

If it was the Abrahamic god as depicted in its various "holy" books then most certainly.
If a human did what the Abrahamic god has supposedly done (no human, no matter how evil, has yet managed to achieve a fraction of what this deity has done in its books), they would be held, tighly responsible for those violations and hopefully executed.
But its followers let it get away with its actions because it's "god".

If the vile beast portrayed by the old testament were real, it would deserve nothing less than the scorn and loathing of any rationally thinking human being. Would I hate it? No. I'll reserve my hatred for petty villains. Serial mass murderers, serial rapist, genocidal maniacs and the like. The monstrous creature described in the christer buy-bull deserves so much more than hatred. Absolute animosity, utter contempt and ultimate loathing with a healthy dash of scorn, spite and detestation. That's the recipe for the god of the buy-bull.
Since that thing is not real, I can honestly say I hate it no more than I hate Lord Voldemort, Sauron, Darth Vader or any other fictional character.
