Of course God is real, how could you hate someone that much who isn't real? Have you ever felt that kind of hatred for a chair? Why does Jesus piss so many people off? Because He is real, and He is who He says He is.

Well, I guess everyone who hates Christians simply for believing in Jesus.

Here's to hoping this is a gimmick account (probably not, in which case this is all the worse.)

What a stupid answer!

Now tuck your tail between your legs and walk away.

No need for this argument to go on, you just defeated yourself.

2) Who the justifies that hate on a Christian's belief in Jesus

Yeah, pretty much every hard-bitten atheist I know. An atheist, whether they can verbalize it or not, takes it personally the implication in a Christian's faith that the Christian has found the one Truth of life and that they have not. There are many conscious manifestations of the unconscious offense an atheist takes from a Christian's exclusive relationship with the Truth, all arising from a feeling of hatred. I'm saying that that hatred would not happen if Christ weren't first of all real.

Jesus pissed people off (apocryphally) because he challenged the political authority they wielded, either as a result of ideological or military hegemony. I've always admired Pontius Pilate for not allowing himself to become thusly pissed off.

This is bull. So you think you know what every atheist has deep in his heart?

Who are you to say what an atheist takes personally?

You, my friend, are a typical theist. I am not offended by you or your religion. I do not hate you or Jesus. It is you who seems to take umbrage to my choice not to believe.

"An atheist, whether they can verbalize it or not, takes it personally..."
Dont tell me what I feel. You think you know every atheist alive? You know for a fact that every atheist has these feelings of hatred that he/she is too stupid to verbalize?

You are pathetic.
