[Telepathic Intruder]

"Maybe even hateful towards religion."

"In time we hate that which we often fear" (why are we quoting Shakespeare?) I think some have an unconscious need to eliminate the idea of God from all of their surroundings, because in their heart of hearts they know they've turned their back on Him.

It is disappointing that many of the posts on this thread are also hateful by assuming that all atheists ‘hate God’. Just consider that perhaps these people are searching for God and the answers have escaped them....or perhaps they rebelled against parents who were ‘too religious’ or they may have noticed that some Christians they know are hypocrites. Pray for all God's children.
