No, not really. Took me quite some to learn to live with my choices and to answer my conscience for making those.

I'm not an atheist, I'm an agnostic, but I can't wish that there was a God of Love. If He's a loving God, he obviously hasn't been on THIS planet. It's way too late to stop by and say "hey, I'm God!!" People would just form a resistance and try to steal a nuke to take out the new God.
La resistance!

Roflz.
Imposing a god upon the world, even a god of love, would open up the proverbial mothercan of worms.... and would invariably have resulted in our never having existed...
Love by definition is delusion. Even an omnibenevolant god in concept would end up screwing up the world because "good" and "bad" are entirely subjective concepts, and anything that could benefit one party would just as easily be a detriment to the next.
Metaphorically speaking, an all-loving god would have hugged the world to death long ago.
But since we're all going to non-existence eventually anyway, I don't really give a toss one way or another.

If there was a loving God, this world would be totally different. I really can't imagine it.
I've got used to the world as it is. I'm reconciled to horrible things happening and there being no afterlife so I don't spend any time wishing there was a God.

Yeah I go with the Odin one. Norse religion is definitely the best, thor, frigg, freyr,
valhalla if you die in battle.
But no, not really, what difference does it make if there is a god or not? I ain't gonna change, why does there need to be a 'god of love'. Love is just a human word that describes an emotional concept, humans are not the only animals that exhibit love and affection.

I'm not atheist, but thought I'd chime in. Perhaps the Bible objective is to get beyond wishing & believing to knowing: Children wish ... Devils believe ... God is not a man.
Perhaps only what began can end. Law began.
His Grace has neither beginning nor ending.
POINT: Grace cannot lie(law) nor die(law).
But Grace does "let", especially for the sake of "shew".
If an atheist be ignorant, "let him" (not you) be ignorant.
For they who play "their part" notably get "their end".
When they say Peace & Safety in law? 1Thess 5:3!
It only comes on "them". The "us" part is 1Thess 5:9.
So stop yer them vs them and go on to "us-ward"-->
Grace --> Mercy ---> Peace with you all. Amen.

No, I have never wished for such a thing because I take comfort knowing that my life is in my own hands and my decisions control my destiny. I'm not the type of person that has to feel like I can wish for things to happen or simply not try and there will always be a way out...

Sometimes I wish for the naivety of the christian's, and that I could just believe in anything (simply because it makes me feel better)..
But I don't think a belief in god, will make it any more true.

If I was an Atheist I wouldn't want the Christian people to be given that much power to have proof their God existed and other Gods don't. maintian the status quo

Sure, I'd love to spend all of eternity floating around a fantastical cloud palace strumming harps.
I'd also love it if leprechauns were real 'cause I would share my Lucky Charms with them and we'd sit under the rainbow and have a picnic.

sometimes...mostly just so that someone would punish bad people when they step out of line (including me I'm a total masochist ;))
the rest of the time, I'm glad there isn't - it'd be like living at home again...we'd never have dreamt up the word independence if there was a god.
