I Imagine There Are People Who Believe In God But Really Hate Him/her/it?

After all he is "apparently" responsible for billions of deaths, slavery, pedophilia, homophobia etc. etc. through history and people are still dying in his name.
Atheists don't hate God, they just don't believe there is a God.
So who would the God haters be?
Answers
Yes, there are most certainly people who hate God! Many will be children! I was such a child and I remember the feeling all too well. I was brought up a Catholic and because of my parents'' being very prominent in our community at the time, we had several friends who were priests, who used to come around our house every weekend. And one of these so called "friends"...

Very good question Ratter, never really thought about it before. If there are God lovers and those of us who do not beleive, who are the God haters?
Can only be the believers who are unfortunate enough to be dealing with awful life expereinces. Grief, conflict, violence, shock, abuse....all of these are extremely difficut to cope with without the added emotion of feeling let down by God.

Anne: //and so are people ratter, and wheather we believe in god or not, should be of no consequence to our relationships with each other. :)//
I totally agree.
MrsLulu, what the Bible says is of little or no consequence, I cant speak for other Atheists but no I dont believe in Satan either, just more nonsense.
Mrslulu, i'm not blaming God, I blame the followers, Its the Bible that lays the blame at Gods door.
OG, //But if you believe there are folk who hate God maybe you can describe who they are.//
im not saying there are people who hate God, Im suggesting that in all probability there are such people, Im the one wondering who they are.

That is a matter for your personal decision. But to help you decide wisely, consider these timely questions: Has the religion with which you are now associated educated you in a knowledge of the Bible? Has it given you a strong faith in God kingdom, or in your Atheists god, has is provides you with a positive, optimistic view of the future? Does it preach, as the Bible does, that the only hope for man is the kingdom of God? Does it teach that Bible prophecy indicates that the blessings of God’s kingdom are to be realized on earth soon?
The Roman Empire, one of the accusations brought against the early Christians was that they were atheists. Dr. Augustus Neander writes: “The deniers of the gods, the atheists, . . . was the common name by which the Christians were designated among the people.” How strange that Christians, who worshiped the living Creator and not multiple gods, should be dubbed atheists by pagans who worshiped “no gods, (Isaiah 37:19)

Yes, there are most certainly people who hate God! Many will be children! I was such a child and I remember the feeling all too well. I was brought up a Catholic and because of my parents'' being very prominent in our community at the time, we had several friends who were priests, who used to come around our house every weekend. And one of these so called "friends" was a child molester! He kept me quiet by telling me that God would see to it that I would burn in hell if I told my parents of our "little secret" and that, in any case, nobody would believe me and I would be severely punished by God and my parents. My parents never knew! Then, when i was in a convent boarding school, one of the nunns used to regularly whip me with a cane and humiliate me in front of other children. She lied to my parents and made me lie to them (threatening that I would burn in hell if I spoke to them about some of the things that went on). Yes, as a child I learned to hate God for allowing his "holy" representatives to do this to me!! I am sure there are many others out there who have experienced the same.
MrsLulu, you are once again showing your ignorance of the Old Testament. I suggest you read it sometime; you'll discover that your God committed more crimes against humanity than Hitler, Stalin, and a dozen other tyrants put together and multiplied a thousandfold.
It's a good job I don't believe in him. I couldn't bear the thought that such evil ever existed. And there are people who actually worship him...how very weird.
