Hard to be mad at something that doesn’t exist

If I believed god exists I would be mad at him.

The existence or non- existence of a god/gods is irrelevant to me. The disregard for separation of church and state in government are topics relevant.

Well I must be ! I drive an average of 3 hrs daily when I work . Through a tunnel . At horrible traffic . " Jesus f Christ " is everybody's name in my car . I don't even know that Jesus boy . Sooo much hate

I don't believe in god and I am NOT unsure!

No gods or tooth fairies. Nothing to be mad at imo.

When I was, angry, it was in the direction of myself for being gullibile enough to be taken in by the nonsense.

In my case, anger at "god" led me to the realization there is no God, and the anger went away.

Neither of the above was my answer and here is why: I was raised in a home that believed in God and went to church. At a young age I became confused as to whether god was loving and kind or jealous and vengeful. I was never mad when I saw bad things happen I was just confused. I decided that since my family and community was Christian I needed to explore other belief systems, which I did as an adult: Judaisim, Kaballah, Islam, Buddhism, Wicca, other Druidic beliefs, and astrology. I came to my own understanding that bad or unpleasant, or sad things happen to people because that is life, maybe even just the luck of the day. It has nothing to do with god or gods or spirits or angels or any other magical or spiritual beliefs. There is no reason for me to not believe in god because he screwed me over and I am just reacting like a kid who got a spanking and sent to bed and now I hate everyone - that is such a waste of time and energy. I came to my decision in a thought provoking manner rather than a knee jerk reaction.

I am mad at the people who made up a god to prey on people and the people who continue to do so. I am sad for the rest.

Cannot be mad at something that is not real.

I don't believe in an invisible being that resides somewhere beyond the clouds.

At age 13, I became an atheist when I realized the Bible is just a book of stories written by men. Was never a believer.

I chose rational thought, not magical beliefs.

Michigan had a hard winter when I was 13. My 10-year-old brother and I read the World Book Encyclopedias. I was inspired by rational philosophers Spinoza and Descartes who bravely defied the church. They were anti-theist (anti-gods) and anti-clergy in the 1600s when heretics were burned at the stake.

How can I be mad at something that doesn't exist

I think you are a bit confused. There are some people who used to believe in a god, but came to the realization that there was no real evidence for one, based on what they had expected that particular god to be like. They stop believing because of the apparent lack of evidence, not because they were angry at some god. Maybe some were angry for having been duped in the first place.

I never really had any belief and I get really tired of people telling me that I must be angry at some thing that I don't even believe in.

I'm mad at god the same way in mad at Hannibal lector. I hate him as a character, the way he is made into someone admirable despite his atrocities. People cheer both of them like they're heros and it really bothers me why.

Your assessment appears incorrect.

I'm mad at the concept of god, as it is one of the most dangerous concepts ever invented by humans, responsible for such misery, especially a mono-theistic god which inevitably leads to heretics, factions, rival theologies, and war and death. That does not equate to being mad at a god that I somehow secretly believe in. No sir.

If someone is "mad at god", they would have to be a believer. Most of the comments I've read on this sight are from non believers.

I would have to believe a thing exists in order to be mad at it.

Kind of hard to be mad at something that isn't real.

I definitely and simply don't believe. Even if one did exist, I wouldn't waste time acknowledging it or waste time inside a building praising it.

Can I be mad at people who happen to believe in god? That whole Council of Nicaea thing really opened a can of worms.

I'm simply a non believer

Mad at this stupid question being asked over and over. Not mad at Santa . Not mad at pixies ‍. Not mad at Leprechauns. Not mad at whichever “god” you think in your mind exists.

How am I going to be mad at something I don't believe in? Mad at "god"?? That's like being angry at Santa Claus.

Angry at religion, however? Of course I am. Religion has been invested in the repression of women for centuries. I'm not down with that $hit.

I’m a bit of both really. Hating God to me is like hating a fictional character. Only difference is that I wasted much of my young life with god and he turned out to be my biggest mistake.
