because he is, the term father to my knowledge refers to only one god of all. so the expretion call no one else father seems to say worship the one god only, hope this helps

Please re-read my question. I asked about 'only son'.

“God-hating atheists”?
An atheist BY DEFINITION does not believe there is a god else he wouldn’t be an “atheist”.
How can an atheist hate what he doesn’t believe exists?
Its like saying I hate Santa! 😛

Lots of people hate Santa. Or more accurately they hate an imaginary Santa. The question now is if they do not believe in Santa but it turns out that he does exist, then did they really hate the real Santa?

Ok.
Incidentally, I don’t “hate” the IMAGE of “god” or “gods“ in any religion. And in the Christian religion, for some reason “god“ is often presented as a bearded old man -well I certainly don’t “hate” an image of a bearded old man -I just merely think it is merely all a bit absurd given the context of that image.

Exactly my point!! There being more atheists on this website than fleas on a camel's bollocks, I still see God-bashing in the extreme...care to explai that?
