RE: Do you wish you could believe in a Deity?

You suck at this. You should stop.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Sometimes. I think I dread the concept of not existing, not that there is anything I can do about it anyway. I am slightly jealous that Theists don't have to come up with real answers for anything, it can all just be 'God did it.' I do think it's better to live in a reality based world however.

You have to grow up and stop believing in a big daddy in the sky, so no, I don't need that at all.

I'm sorry I know in the rules it says not to do this, but I feel like I have to, and in sorry for it, but anyway:
It seems a lot of you hate our religion, and Jesus the most, why is that? What has our Gid done to you to deserve this hate?
And like the other Christian said, you really need to give God a chance, if you open up to the church, the answers will be given to you and you will no longer need to search the world for them, instead you can live peacefully knowing that there are millions of people who love you, and an almighty God who spends his time worrying about and caring for you

You obviously haven't a clue how little appeal what you've written has for me. Now that I'm no longer an infant, I've put aside the things I might have longed for then. I'm not looking for a cosmic teat to nourish and comfort me. Plus I no longer shit my pants so I don't need changing. Ergo, no god required.
Searching the world is a pleasure, not a chore. And why can't those millions of people love me just the way I am? The pope does. What's wrong with all the judgmental protestants anyway?

That may have come across wrong, but as Christians we do love you, you are like family to us, we'll really you are family. But we hate your sin, not the sinner. And what the pope does, does not concern me, the pope is a man, just like my pastor and just like me, we are all equal in the eyes of God, but back to the point, I love you, All the other Christians love you, but I do feel that deliberately downgrading our God is unnecessary, and we do not search for the answers because God IS the answer, I already know how the universe was created, how we were created, so there is no need to search because we already have them

Thanks? Programmatic love has never really moved me but I do appreciate that we don't make it easy for you.
Having decided to already know everything without evidence or reason is not really something to brag about. Neither will it be seen like a selling point here.
I think what you really love is your own high opinion of your beliefs and the superiority you feel for embracing them. I'm quite willing to do without your good opinion.

That's like asking us why we hate King Joffrey from Game of Thrones. Sure, both are tyranical, megalomaniacal, egotistical, reprehensible evil dictators - but we know they don't exist in reality, so any hatred we have for them is imaginary too.

That's the kind of thing churches said in the Dark Ages, when scientists were persecuted for trying to discover the supposed mysteries of the natural world. Promoting ignorance will get you nowhere at AF.org, quick-like. I'd cut that out, if I were you.

I'm sorry but we are not trying to hypnotize people to our liking, we only give the answers out to those that seek them, God is the answer, and I hope you discover that before it is too late
Sejanus, Idk where you get your ideas of God, but he is none of the above, he is a merciful loving all powerful being, definetly not hateful or overbearing as to suggest, but I do applaud your choice in entertainment, GoT is an amazing show.
And where I get in this site does not bother me at all, really I'm only here to answer questions you have about my religion, and explain things correctly, and correct any accusations made against the bible or God, and I not saying that you can't look for other answers, do as you please I do not prosecute you for trying to understand a being that can not be understood, I just give all the answers mankind need, but humans are a curious species continue to look, and when your search brings you nowhere you should go back to God for the answers
And I'm not asking for your ridicule, I'm asking a sincere question on why atheists hate Christians and God, and don't give me the crap that you don't because just about everyone here proved they do, now will you please answer the question thoughtfully this time
