why do people hate God if they dont belive in Him

Thats a very good question, jdmarcus59... and for me, it seems people which hates god are the ones which need Him more, the ones who feels ignored by Him, and dont want to admit it even to themselves, so they hate Him, and says they dont believe Him.
But, as you asked, how can anybody hate a thing they think does not exist?

Here's what I'd say...
I hate god for being such an insufferable prick all the time.
I hate god for being an ace in the hole for all the religious crazies out there who think it's a great idea to have 8 kids and get them all an SUV.
I hate god for giving doctrine to his followers that allows them to not only target and exterminate people of other creeds, colors or backgrounds, but to feel morally superiour while doing so.
I hate god for trying to make all the nuts think that life will be so much better after they're dead.
I hate god for making this earth a pale shadow of the garden, just so everyone feels ok about destroying it.
I hate god for promising us an endtime, because all of a sudden current events such as war, hunger and pollution seem much less pressing.

And lastly, I hate god for making the platypus for nothing more than his own sick amusement.


All the above and more. That's why I'd hate god if I thought he even existed. As such, I think it's the just mindset that blows...

I dont believe in this god you talks about either. The God i follow is very different of that you described. And i sincerely pity the people that believes in that god you mention, and think they're right doing so...

the life of men..

So I believe that many people who are athiest don't 'hate god', they simply hate the idea of a God who finds utility in suffering amongst innocent people.

no your wrong some of the most fucked up things happen because of man,
cause if you think that man is the answer, well then I think the qustion must
be wrong, for man has been in charge now for to long, and just look around

As an alternative you want a mythical being to take charge. In that case, I vote for Father Christmas.:thumbsup: He'll be much more fun than the fucked up psycho god that the bible and the koran talk about.

You just have it. Everything can think. Just a lot of things think differently, and most rely on instinct. It's called evolution dude. Maybe God gave YOU the right to think, but I was born with it. NO ONE GAVE IT to me. As a living creature I have the ability to think, because thats jsut how shit works, I don't know why, and never will. No one understands exactly what happens when we think. Anyways your arguement basically is trying to say there is God because I exist......And no I don't hate "God" I hate mass populas conformity.

because if he is real he must be either one hell of a wanker or one hell of ajoker, my guess is he's both.
