Most atheists I have interacted with are people who are angry with God. With them, it’s not a matter of whether He exists or not. If God did exist, they would spend their time wishing Him away.
A lot of those calling themselves “atheist” have a negative obsession with the idea of God. They dwell on it so much, in fact, that I wonder how they can claim they don’t believe in God. They’ll blame God for all their problems on the one hand, and on the other claim he doesn’t exist. A bizarre condition in my opinion.
It is odd that many atheists seem to have such an emotional investment in what they term as a mythical being.
Why invest so much energy in battle with people you think foolish for believing in a mythical being. Unless a person is trying to evangelize you why discuss God at all. I certainly do not spend time discussing or thinking of the existence of Zeus.
Speaking of evangelism; why the evangelistic fervor for so many atheist? Why does it bother them so much for another person to believe in God?
