No, Nemo, I don't. You are generally reasonable to talk to and you get upset from time to time, but I think you mean well.

Lol he did it to me too. In his favor, I am usually pretty disrespectful when I address him, owed to the fact that I have no respect for him, nor do I particularly respect anyone who ignores dissenting voices. Or profanity. People who have to shield themselves from bad words are people I have no time for anyway.
Everybody who likes me knows I have a filthy mouth, and everybody that I like doesn't try to change that

Sometimes, in the heat of the discussion, emotions come into play and your god is really a fucking tyrannical misanthrope, so treating it as an existent deity does bring out the "We hate your god" syndrome.
When reading a well written book or a well done movie, it is easy to get emotional and develop an extreme dislike for some of the characters and relish in their demise, but once the movie is over or the book is read, the characters no longer exist and the 'hate' is gone. When we leave the forum, we do not go on a "We hate god" rampage, but rather we forget it until next time.
So while we are here discussing your non-existent deity, you can rest assured that we do have a 'non-existent' dislike for your fucking tyrannical misanthrope.
Maybe they want us to talk like this:
I want to discuss Dr. Seuss’s fictional character, the Cat in the Hat. But let me make it very clear that I don’t believe that said Cat in said Hat actually exist. In the story there’s Thing 1 (who doesn’t actually exist) and Thing 2 (who is equally non-existent). Dr. Seuss has a fictional fish swimming around in a fictional fish bowl chastising fictional children whose fictional parents will soon return to their fictional home. Please note that I said these are all fictional characters and I do not believe that any of them actually exists.
We could use this method when speaking about the fictional god of the Christian church. That way nobody gets confused about whether we believe in this fictional god, who, by the way, doesn’t actually exist.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I like Dr. Seuss, you mean to tell me that those stories are not real? Damn. What next, Harry Potter is a fake too?

It has been said that more people believe in god than not, so god must be real. As the 'Harry Potter' series has a word count of 1,084,170 and the bible only has a word count of 774,746, does that make 'Harry Potter' less fictional than the bible? After all, more numbers means more believable.

Your name didn't come to mind, but only you know for sure. Are you? Be honest.
Like I've said three times in this thread alone....
No, Randy. I'm not angry at god. I'm not angry at the church, either. I'm not even angry at the people who who put shit in my head.
I'm not angry with anyone, and I don't blame anyone for how I am. I don't hold grudges, as a general rule.
