Do you ever wonder why people have so much hatred for God? Is it because they are so full of hatred that they are blinded by it? Is it because their hearts are hardened? Like this guy who keeps posting the cancer questions? Why are you so angry? I just have to wonder. I mean, God works everything for His will. And if you don't believe in Him, why are you so quick to blame Him for all the bad things that happen? If you didn't blame Him, who would you blame? You know, it takes faith to believe in nothing as well as to believe in something.

As for sarcastic remarks, that is hate. One characterisitc of hate is total lack of respect. You would never see me being so petty. I am not perfect, and neither is anyone else, but I at least have the respect and kindness to not be mean or hateful.

I call it hatred because of Mr. T there is cused me out. WOW that is hateful. But beyond that you do see and hear a lot of people say, "If God is supposed to be all loving why does he allow so much pain and suffering"? People are constantly accusing Him for all the bad in the world. Man allowed this to happen, Man did all this to himself. It's like saying no one is in control of their actions. Someone has unprotected sex, gets AIDS and then wants to blame God for allowing AIDs to exist. Well, God said not to have pre-martial relations, and if you did than you have to live with the consequences of your sin.

Let me clarify by saying that I do not hold hatred against those who believe different than I. My "point of view" question was my observation of all those who do blame God. I never once said "everyone". Jump to conclusions and you will surely fall.

"You know, it takes faith to believe in nothing as well as to believe in something."
haha, i don't see you worshiping The FSM, Zeus, Ra, etc.....The lack of evidence for a god is the reason why people are atheist/agnostic, blaming/hating things on fictional characters would be absurd to them.

I think it is easier for people to let their ill feelings go by hating a person or a thing than holding it in. God has given me an unbelievable sense of comfort and direction in my life to where I can see where my anger is coming from and deal with it in a healthy way when it presents itself. I once tried to blame a bad thing that happened on God, but I realized that my anger/ blame was misplaced. I put myself into the rut by human error and God was letting me make that mistake (through the free will He gave me) so that I may learn from it in order to be a better and wiser person. God has been an unfailing friend to me. I pray that he may also befriend those who hate him or are not sure if they believe.
As far as the uncontrolable things (such as death):
I wish I knew why God lets people die. Hopefully the man who asks the cancer questions will find peace with God and wisdom to deal with his situation.

"Do you ever wonder why people have so much hatred for God?".
Like who?
You made most of this stuff up, like this one: "And if you don't believe in Him, why are you so quick to blame Him for all the bad things that happen?"
Doesn't the fact that you have to lie so much to defend your beliefs tell you something about the quality of those beliefs? It should.
==================
You want other people to be responsible for the consequences of their actions, yet you want to be respected despite not behaving in a respectable manner. That's not going to happen.
In fact I do not respect you at all, and that's not because of some "hate" that's bubbling up inside of me, but simply because you're lying, making false accusations, writing nonsense, and whining about others' behavior without making any attempt to fix your own.

Jude:
17But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
2 Tim 3:1-5
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2 Peter 3
1 Cor 6

I don't blame anyone for hating God...I've led a lucky life so far and haven't experienced suffering en masse. But, others have, so who can blame them. God is all loving and has big shoulders, so to speak. I don't think they are any worse for the wear spiritually except for the suffering. It takes it's toll physically and then ultimately, spiritually.

You can't hate a god who doesn't exist. So when people say god does this or that, we say, "Why didn't god do X?" not because we believe it, but to show you how little sense it makes.

Have you ever wondered whether you might be interpreting people's lack of belief in the God you speak of as hatred, because such lack of belief is a threat to that upon which you have based the ground of your being?

Why do you hold so much hatred for genies? Why is your heart hardened against people getting their three wishes. Why do you blame genies so much?
Are you honestly so bigoted you confuse thinking for hatred? You come on here calling people you never met full of hate. How bigoted is that anyway.
You are giving decent Christians of which there are many a bad name with your name-calling.

Why do you think it's hatred? Because they don't believe as you? You can not hate something you have no belief in. Its not hatred. It's called skepticism. Unbelief. I don't blame god for anything. I take responsibility for my own actions.

I don't believe it is hatred for God...as much as hatred for those that call themselves Christians.
Fundies have tarnished the word Christian so bad...that many will never come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ because of the rhetoric of these terrible fundamentalists....it is quite sad....
