No, what I'm saying is I find the mindset that to be a good God, God must accept and reward people who consistently attack him and say they want nothing to do with him, and then cite the incidence of people bringing misery upon themselves through their willful rejection of God as evidence that he doesn't really care.
I am not following you. An atheist does not believe in God. Why would you think an atheist would expect acceptance or reward from something they don't believe in? How can you want nothing to do with something you don't think exists?
I think you are projecting your own beliefs onto others. You would be better served, assuming you actually care to understand, by looking past your beliefs and looking at it from the perspective of a non-believer.
For example, are you miserable because you don't believe in Odin? Are you rejecting Odin, wanting nothing to do with Odin, or do you simply see this mythical being as irrelevant. I suspect it is the latter. Think of it in those terms and you will have a better idea of the actual mind set.
Actually, no. You can see in this thread the rants against the maniacal genocidal blah blah blah....the anger towards a God they reject, claim doesn't exist, based on their belief that he's a mean guy who shouldn't allow us to reap the consequences of our own stupidity.
It's schizo. If you don't believe he exists, what's with the anger?
If you're angry with him, how can you say he doesn't exist?
Some say they are angry that he forgives, some say they're angry that he allows consequences and/or levels judgement.
It's just...baffling.
The one thing all atheists appear to agree about is that if God exists, he should never exert authority against those who willfully reject him and his followers.
