God could only create a creature capable of love
by allowing free will, to love or to hate. With all
God's power there was no way to force true love.
We ...[text shortened]... and love
all the time and see if it make for a better world.

I see an awful lot of constant hypocrisy here on these forums by certain (not all, just an extreme minority) theists:
They constantly lecture to as atheists about love and hate
as if we atheists promote hate and are full of hate and are against love and have no love just by being atheist! This is, of course, nonsense. Atheism is not about hate or anti-love, and, if you want to know what atheism is about, just look it up in the dictionary! It means disbelief that there exists a god and
nothing more.
We atheists are no more capable of hate and are no less capable of love than theists.
To add to that hypocritical, they show extraordinary hatred towards atheists on these forums and at times so much that it can only be compared with the hatred the Nazis had against the Jews -and they lecture to US about hate!?
Perhaps they should be reminded of a few facts:
http://atheism.about.com/od/adolfhitlernazigermany/a/NaziChristian.htm
“...Christians may not like acknowledging that Nazi actions might have anything to do with Christianity, but Germany saw itself as a fundamentally Christian nation and millions of Christians in Germany enthusiastically endorsed Hitler and the Nazi Party in part because they saw both as embodiments of both German and Christian ideals. ...”
also, Hitler himself was definitely a theist:
http://www.secularhumanism.org/library/fi/murphy_19_2.html
also, was it atheists that flew aircraft into tall buildings? Answer, no. it was religious extremists, NOT atheists!
OK, there was also some evil atheists; Stalin being by far the best example I think although I haven't ever seen any evidence nor reason to believe that he ever said he killed specifically in the name of atheism, and who has? And yet many atrocities throughout history have been committed in the name of a religion or a god. But, given that most of the most evil people in history were clearly theist, how dare some theists accuse US of being evil!!!
They also make out that the existence of god, even to us atheists, is, somehow, 'obvious'! Of course, this is also nonsense. It is no more obvious that god exists to an atheist as it is obvious to an atheist that the spaghetti monster exists and for the same reason -there is no evidence that there exists a god just as there is no evidence that there exists a spaghetti monster.
So why are we atheists supposed to be evil/hateful? -because we don't have blind faith in the said existence of something because we see no evidence? -that simply doesn't make any sense. Are you just being evil and hateful for denying the spaghetti monster?
I will copy and paste this above post to make it the subject of a new thread.
