Why Do I hate creationists (theists in general)

[ScienceAf]

The thread name was a joke, all my thread names are such as "God... (GONA SEXUAL!!!)"
I just don't like theists.
Deists are pretty chill.

So what about someone who is a partial deist and partial theist?

Then it just depends on.how they are as a human morally.

Sounds like a good criteria to judge all, not some, right?

Hate is cheap.

It's not nice to hate.

Well you know it's a joke, just read through the thread.

And I said strongly dislike.

Just a simple question.
Why the fuck do I hate theists?
Well...
Strongly dislike.

Let me see if I can guess.  Did you ever have to attend church, take part in a religious ritual or pretend you were a believer when in fact you were not?  That might leave a little residue of resentment.  On the other hand if you were so cleverly handled that you not only bought the whole thing but studied apologetics or actively recruited new believers - and then finally realized it was all for naught.  Well then you have the grounds for not only resentment but also some niggling self hatred.

What do I win?

Two questions:

Does that mean you your self are leaning a little deist?

Are you the same Pops who'd gotten swept up in some religious predictions?


Don't mean to put you on the spot or embarrass you.  I think quite a few of us felt some real fondness for you and were wishing you hadn't painted yourself into that corner.

There are and have been members who were deists.  I myself can allow 'gods' exist; I just don't think any of them created everything or have the power to impose an afterlife even if they wanted.  So I don't go for any supernaturalism in gods.  If they're going to have any reality at all, they're just going to have to make it in the real world the same way we do.  Of course, you might wonder if God is so little why even bother?  But to my mind, it is only a very little, nearly powerless, entirely personal god which could possibly command my respect or interest.

Your mind is a very different one from mine indeed.

I've always been both, even pantheistic, but none bother to ask generally.

Deist in that I believe in an ultimate creative force.

Theistic in that I jave belief in one God as the creator and ruler of the universe, without rejection of revelation (distinguished from deism ).

Pantheistic in that I do indeed believe all existence to be of GOD.

Hope that helps.

I just don't get how people can justifiably insist that GOD; the creator of all existence, wouldn't care about or guide that creation or formation.

Peace

I do not hate theists. I strongly dislike them.

My dislike is apparent, due to how theists have a strong desire to go to extreme measures in ensuring that others believe as they do.
