can someone tell me why?

Question

I would just like to know why do you (Atheist) hate GOD? you find it so difficult to answer a question when it comes to the possibility that GOD does exist that you can only ask a question back like "what will you do when you find you wasted your life believing in nothing." that folks is not answering the question. it is pinning the blame as it were on someone else. just answer the question! how hard is it for you so called higher intellecual people to just answer a what if question.
You want my answer to your what if. Then I have lost nothing and lived a good life. I don't loose anything only you do.

for all those that say, "we don't hate him we don't believe in him"
then why do you speak with such venom about the thought of him?

Answer 1

Calm down, these people are individuals, you should be too :) Be happy in the thought that you are a good person and don't destroy that happiness for someone else.
If it makes you feel better, I believe in a higher power. I believe in many gods and study many different teachings of god/s.
As an individual you should seek what makes you happy, not what angers you! You should discover all aspects of life. If you are one of those steriotypical christians, then understand this...god has no religion! God is everything and cannot be summed up by any human being, we can only hope to someday begin to understand.

Answer 2

Thankyou for asking such a nice and intellectual question. I completely agree with your question and answer. I also want to tell atheists that praying has been proven to calm down the mind and make someone feel better. They say being calm is the cure for most diseases (Scientific American). Also i find atheisim to be mostly common in schools without christian or religious education. All schools should have that and the schools should cater for every sect there is even islam and judaism. Because most people become atheists when they are very young and these people should have the oppurtunity to experience there religion properly. Then if someone is so convinced that there is no god after the person is over 18 or something like that than its fine with me. Im still 14, believe in god but i dont know if i want to be an orthodox christian or protestant. I will chose as i experience each religion more.

If you want intellectual answers, stop asking stupid questions.

"what will you do when you are being judged by god" or whatever your horsesh*t question was, starts off with the following asinine assumptions;

- YOUR god exists
- your god cares what I believe regarding your god
- there are consequences to not believeing the horse crap your holy book and pastor have fed you
- people outside your brainwashed cult would give any serious consideration to this nonsense

How can you expect to be taken seriously by anyone outside your cult when you ask questions that start with such assumptions?

You DO lose if you are wrong:

- you lose your intellectual freedom; you are a slave to your beliefs and the fear they induce. It is YOU who fear the consequences you ask others about, not I.

- you no doubt have religious rules/expectations of some kind that you strive to live up to. I don't. That's a real cost to you that I don't have.

- you probably spend at least an hour or more in church every week, and probably donate money to it. I don't. Those are measurable costs.

- but the biggest cost of all is doubt. You have it, and I don't. I don't have doubt because my positions are not dogmatic. I allow myself the freedom to be wrong. If I'm wrong, pfft, so what? I tried my best. But if you're wrong... how scary that thought must be for you.

If your right and I'm wrong, oh well, I tried. If I'm right and your wrong, you wasted the only life your ever going to have devoted to a lie. If it weren't so sad, it'd be funny.

Answer 4

You can not hate what you don't believe in. I am not an atheist, I am agnostic. But your idea of living a good life is just your perspective of what is good. Being good in most rational peoples eyes is not feeling sorry for someone because they don't believe what you believe. Being good is not using the object of your faith for passive aggressive attacks on other by saying Jesus loves you or I will pray for you when you hear something you don't like. Being good in the US is living letting live. Some value intellect over most things and some do not. That's just the way that it is, be understanding of those who do not find faith were you do, don't show pity. This is demeaning and incites a defensive posture.

Answer 5

I don't hate God. I don't believe he exists. That would be the difference. I personally have made the decision that my life is better off not following a religion that I can't come to grips with outside of a willful, stubborn choice to believe. That's just me, though. If you're happier as you are, then more power to ya!

Answer 6

I dont understand when an Atheist doesnt believe there is GOD, where does the question arise of hating or loving someone, which does not exist? They got to be fooling themselfs

Answer 7

I'm an Atheist and I don't hate God, I just don't believe there is a God. I don't push my Atheistic views on anyone else , so don't push your beliefs on me. At the end of the day, it's each to their own.

Answer 8

I don't believe that all Atheists hate god, I myself being one, I don't hate god. In fact I find it extremely hard to hate something that I don't believe in.
But as for the ones that do hate it, its probably because they asked for something from him that they wanted and didn't get it, so therefore they old a grudge against it. And others, just need to see it to believe it type of people. ^__^ there you go.

Answer 9

Who says that atheists hate God? It's more probable that atheists hate the messengers (Christians) always getting in their faces and taking it upon themselves to "save" atheists.

I know that I don't like preachy people. Especially those that are all like "your going to hell because your (fill in the appropriate religion)". Do you really think that God is going to look at someone like Mother Theresea and deny her enterance into Heaven because she was Catholic and not Baptist or whatever?

And if God does descriminate against good people because of their religion then I wan't no part of Him.

Answer 10

Atheists don't hate God. They can't hate things when they believe it is not exist. They don't believe God not because they hate but they don't have sufficient evidence to believe. If there is sufficient evidence, atheists will believe in God.

It is not a matter of hate...
