So... I was told to state my theory on Abrahamic religions here.

[spankythehippo]

To quote Lord Sachs, "That God you don't believe in? I don't believe in him either."

The kind of God that would be the responsible for whatever has grieved you is not the kind of God the vast majority of religious people believe in, and whatever you choose to believe it is important you understand that. It is also important that you understand that the same God would not want me to hate you, nor does He hate you.

My objection is not your beliefs, it is the way that you presented them, which - frankly - seemed designed to draw the negative reaction they have.

I will not give my reasons for hating the idea of a divine being.

Of course they will garner a negative reaction. Since I am on this forum, I'll give a Total War Diplomacy menu analogy (In this case Shogun 2).

I'm Takeda (because I love Takeda). You are Matsuda (since I'm Shinto-Buddhist which isn't technically a religion, and you are Christian.)

Becasue of Religious Differences, you are Unfriendly to me. Fair enough. With enough Religious Divide, you will become Hostile (maybe). And if a war starts, then I'll defend myself with my superior cavalry.

In your first post you declared yourself an atheist, you declared all religions deliberate fabrications and you just threatened to spit in God's face, if he exists. that's a pretty definitive avowel from where I'm sitting, even if you aren't an activist atheist.

I declared all religions fabrications. Yeah, but I'm not preaching this actively to everyone I see. If someone asks me on my thoughts on religion, there they are.

I'd spit in god's face, when I meet him. If he wants an appointment, he'll book an appropriate time with me. I'm not going to demand that god breaks his schedule, by barging in on him, spitting in his face, then leaving. Although, it does sound fun. It just isn't worth the effort. So, yeah, I don't actively hate religion. I just hate it. Using normal hate. Level 1 Hate.
