I Hate God
In the write-ups above, it was asked, "Why believe in an
omnipotent being you then
profess to hate?"
Before I set out to answer that question, let me throw out some
defining factors.
Belief:
Assent to a proposition or affirmation, or the acceptance of a fact, opinion, or assertion as real or true, without immediate personal knowledge; reliance upon word or testimony; partial or full assurance without positive knowledge or absolute certainty; persuasion; conviction; confidence; as, belief of a witness; the belief of our senses.
Based on the
Webster 1913 Dictionary, belief in
God can and for the purpose of this discussion should be "To accept the common knowledge that God exists."
This does not force me to like God, but meerly states that I believe he exists. I believe in
Satan, but I do not like him, nor will I follow his ways. I can walk into a
eatery, and be served food that I believe is
spinach dip, but that does not mean I have to like it.
I believe if the
Church of God, I believe in the
Catholic Church, I believe in the
Lutheran Church, I believe in the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I believe in
Paganistc Churches, but I do not attend them all.
Belief does not constrain me to
Love, but it can lead me to it. It can also lead me to
hatred.
I suppose a better question might be, "How can you have something that does not exist, and if it exists, then you Must believe it exists, Right?"
