It's official: Atheists are just mad at God!

[Brother Temperance]

A new study has confirmed what we all knew all along: atheists understand that God exists every bit as well as we do, they just pretend He doesn't because they're angry with Him!

It's not just religious folks, either. People unaffiliated with organized religion, atheists and agnostics also report anger toward God either in the past, or anger focused on a hypothetical image - that is, what they imagined God might be like - said lead study author Julie Exline, Case Western Reserve University psychologist.
In studies on college students, atheists and agnostics reported more anger at God during their lifetimes than believers. A separate study also found this pattern among bereaved individuals. It seems that more religious people are less likely to feel angry at God and more likely to see his intentions as well-meaning, Exline's research found.
And younger people tend to be angrier at God than older people, Exline said. She says some of the reasons she's seen people the angriest at God include rejection from preferred colleges and sports injuries preventing high schoolers from competing.
Moreover, distress at God is associated with mental health symptoms. Exline and colleagues found that among cancer survivors interviewed once and then again a year later, those who were angry at God at both points in time had the poorest mental and physical health. But the study cannot prove whether anger at God made them feel worse or that feeling worse made them more angry at God.

Well, there we have it. Atheists acknowledge God's existence, they just hate him. And reasons for God-hating, i.e. atheism, include:

1. Being too young and immature to accept God.
2. Being too stupid to get into your preferred college and blaming God for your lack of intelligence.
3. Being injured as a punishment from God for sinful behaviour.
4. Poor mental health - i.e., being too mad to accept the obvious truth that God exists.

Fascinating stuff. Although they didn't really need to do all this research to find a correlation between hating God and poor mental health, they could've just looked at our forums.

Submission to the Lord is a tough road to haul. I'll admit that in my youth there were times I would scream at God for so called hurts. My father refusing to pay for me to go to University to be a vet. My father deciding that since I was "un-marriageable" that I should be out on my own (without an education). Looking back though, I can see that God had a plan for me all along. I'm so happy that I stayed on His path.

There's also the fact that if the false churches didn't make God out as some miracle vending machine, put a prayer in and out pops whatever wish you had. These people would realize that they're here to serve God, not the other way around.

CNN is just stating the obvious. You HAVE to believe in God to be an atheist.

Wow. What a pointless article only meant to justify the use of the fantastic title.

You provide no evidence that it's useless? It sounds like you didn't even actually read the article, you're just simply trying to discredit Brother Temperance. I think this a perfect example of how atheists have broken moral compasses and are mad at God.

No.

No, of course you will not watch the video, as all of the videos that I have so far brought to your attention that you have dismissed. You have offered nothing but contempt towards me, as expected I must admit but still a little saddening. I notice you limiting the time frame in which I can post. I appreciate that as it allows me time to write a lengthy response for you. I will provide more videos because well frankly I know someone will watch it.

I watched your video and it in no way refutes the article posted. The article was based on a study which asked atheists if they've ever been mad at God.

Why don't you go read the article for me, and then report back.

Re: It's official: Atheists are just mad at God!

sI would go so far as to say atheism is predominately a result of mental illness.

And this does not excuse it, in my eyes or God's, they are still going to BURN.

Re: It's official: Atheists are just mad at God!

Atheists also do things like fornicate, commit sodomy, and masturbate to express their rage against the Lord. They also hate America. That's why they voted for Obama and oppose the War on Terror. They have no moral compass. So they hate God.

Atheists believe the universe came from nothing. But this is just a clever way of calling God "nothing", or saying He has no value. They just define half of the energy in the universe as positive and the other half as negative and say this proves the universe came from nothing, for no reason other than to insult God.

Of course underlying all this rage against God is an underlying motive to justify having anal sex. Why else would they hate God so much?

Dillon I read the article..

The article states that athiests express anger towards god in a thoeretical manner. Such as george carlin often expressed anger in god for if he exists often times we believe he has wronged the world. Your article does nothing to prove that athiests believe god exists. All it proves is we show a theoretical dislike for the figure. Which is to be expected, as you should know from watching the video.
I will say I appreciate you attempting to converse with me logically
you get a thumbs up for that

You make all atheists look bad and stupid. Can you please stop posting here?
