Don't you think there's even ONE atheist who doesn't believe in God because he's angry with God?

Question

Like on Karate Kid 2, when Sato tells his nephew "You are dead to me"...like that?

Or maybe there's this one guy who LOVES to party and smoke cigarettes, so he pretends not to believe, AND comes on Y!A to tell people so, just because he doesn't want to be held accountable. Ya think?

Right, living4HIM, *definitely*

Cloudcity, you can't make it untrue with big words!

Paul S, you can't just IGNORE these God-hating atheists by calling them "not real atheists"

Answer 1

Obviously there aren't any.
That's just silly - such a person wouldn't be an atheist.

That "you're just angry with God" thing is just a phrase that believers use to avoid having to think about their beliefs. It reflects narrowmindedness, obviously, and an eagerness to lie about others.
=================
"Paul S, you can't just IGNORE these God-hating atheists by calling them "not real atheists""

There's no such thing as a "God-hating atheist", obviously.

You should have learned what an atheist is before posting attacks on them, kid.

Answer 2

I'm not sure that I exactly understand your point. Atheists believe there is no God. NOT that there IS a God and atheists just disagree with him. You seem to be confusing 2 different concepts. How can someone disagree with something he doesn't think exists?

But to answer the question that I think you mean, I certainly believe that believers choose to be angry with God, and therefore decide not to follow him. I believe that is how Satan got his start, right?

Answer 3

I have a relative who is just like that. He likes to argue with his mother and others about how there is no G-d and it's all a crock, blah blah ... But when we talk he admits to me that he does believe in G-d but he just 'hates the 'mo-fo.' He feels like he's gotten a raw deal in life and he blames his creator. So yes there ARE in FACT the kind of people you are talking about.

However, I have to say 'no' to your actual question. There are no Atheists who believe in G-d. The definition of an Atheist is someone who does not believe in a god. To be an Atheist who actually believes in a god is a contradiction in terms. It's like asking if there is a black that is actually white. What we are dealing with here is a closet 'theist' or 'Deist' pretending to be an Atheist, not a true Atheist.

However, as a personal opinion I do believe that there are more fake Atheists than true Atheists.

Edit:
SEED, just below this answer makes a good point.

But I did not forget the agnostic, I intentionally omitted him. I did think about the agnostic, particularly one former agnostic in my family who is now a believer, but still not connected to any particular faith. Since the 'true' agnostic's stance is "I dunno" I just figured it was an off topic point and I thought it best to just address the main point of the question.

Answer 4

Of course!
We're dealing with billions of people. Some will have taken to atheism "on the rebound" from a bad experience of religion, equated with God.

But then, plenty hold a belief in God out of fear or habit: a "dependency" relationship, rather than a rebound one.

Both are fine as social observations.
Neither help much with the decision as to what we *should* believe about the nature of the universe.

Answer 5

Curious reading the answers here, almost all the Atheists, myself included, say basically the same thing, it is illogical to say we have feelings towards something we know to be imaginary.

On the other hand, all the non Atheists know exactly what we think 'deep down' and insist that we do indeed hate god.

Answer 6

Is that why you stopped believing in Santa? Didn't he bring you a transformer for Christmas so you said, Santa isn't real anymore. No, you stopped believing in Santa cause the whole idea of a guy living at the North Pole delivering presents to all the children in the world in one night was less plausible than your parents buying stuff you need for school.

Same thing with God. Sorry, invisible omnipotent being that created everything is not as plausible as science.

Answer 7

This question makes no sense the way it is asked.

One would have to be THEIST to be ANGRY at God. If one is Atheist one does not believe that such a thing as a god exists.

How can you claim someone is angry at something they don't believe exists? I don't get angry at the tooth fairy.

I am theist. I can get angry with God. It wouldn't make my belief that there is such a thing as God disappear to have anger at God.

Whenever I read someone say atheists are angry at God it tells me they do not understand the definition of the word...at all.

It is a logical contradiction.

If someone "pretends" not to believe that God exists, that still doesn't make them an atheist. It makes them a lying theist.

sheesh. use a dictionary sometime folks!

edit: apparently EvolvedK did not read my answer. Not ALL theists made erroneous assumptions. I am THEIST, I have God belief, but I understand perfectly that this question is illogical. Only one who IS theist (believes that any deity exists) can be angry at a deity. I got that and said so quite plainly.

Edit AGAIN to respond to the questioners statement to someone that you "cannot ignore " these "God hating atheists". That was more illogical than your orginal question! There can be no such thing as a "god hating atheist" because in order to HATE something you must believe it exists. If you wish to change the DEFINITION of the word atheist you are going to have a really tough time, in the MEANTIME since an ATHEIST does not believe that any god EXISTS..for you to claim that any can "hate" an entity they don't believe exists is entirely irrational on your part. THEISTS are the ONLY people who could be angry with or hate any deity. One may be theist and not care to follow or believe in any religion. I think there is no point in further concern with answering you since your question was OBVIOUSLY not seeking to genuinely clear up any lack of understanding on your part. Your "additional details" reveal quite clearly that you were desperately looking for somone else to support you in your attempt to evade reality.

I'll pray for you to overcome this delusion and gain the capacity to understand dictionary definitions of the English language. God bless you.

Answer 8

Yes, there is contradiction in the phrasing of Your question, but what You mean is clear anyway, and i have seen evidence of the angry pretenders, just in the way they phrase THEIR questions and answers.

In all fairness, though, there are far more false believers in this world who extort money from simple souls, and they do a lot more harm than a ranting false Atheist in Y!/A.

(Square-S, You forget the possibility of agnostic.)

Answer 9

Probably lots of them, of course the thought that you can do anything you like and not be concerned about it plays a big roll as well, just look at the kids killing kids in school. Hey this is it, why worry?

Answer 10

I am sure there is. Just like there are people who claim to believe in god who really don't.

I don't let it concern me. Many people claim to be things they are not.
(I ignored the fact that an atheist doesn't believe in god and assumed you were trying to make the point that someone who claims to be an atheist may say so because they are mad at god.)
