why do people hate God if they dont belive in Him

[jdmarcus59]

it seems to me that there is a lot of anger, and misunderstanding that goes on here, God does not force Him self on any one, He gave you the freedom
to belive are not belive. And the light came into the world, and this light was
the life of men..

I don't hate God because I don't believe in him, I hate the idea of a God.

Um, I'm not going to go into that.

i think this is an interesting question; perhaps one would hate the idea of god because one doesn't want to feel responsible to some "higher" power or believe that your life was made by someone else. it entitles a sense of responsibility and obedience maybe. i could understand that.

Someone can not hate God, and not believe in him. But if there is a god, based on what I see around me, I don't like him very much. But like Samwhore said, many hate the idea of God, or organized religion, but you can't hate what you don't belive even exists.

I on the other hand am agnostic, I simply don't feel I have enough info to support either belief. I'm basically keeping my options open until I get furthur proof one way or the other.

I can still dislike him, it what ever you have it. There are many things to dislike of him. It is actually much harder to reason out the devil, hence to the non-believer, everything good and bad is the result of God (if he does exist). Religion only credits God with the pleasent things and what is found in the Old Testement. I credit him with what the devil is credited for.

I have trouble grasping the idea of God as percieved through Christianity. This only because after studying it's effects, particularly among western civilization, I can tell you that some of the most fucked-up things happened in the name of religion. Some of the most atrocious, unimaginable things that one human being can do to another were done to appease the Christian God.

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.

YOU give yourself that right, if you are smart or ignorant enough. The ability to think gives everyone freedom.
