text: do atheists fear or hate god? from my previous questions, i noticed that some athiests don't believe in god due to the suffering in the world towards children which is caused by man, not god.    what are athiests are afraid of? athiest walk around in blissful ignorance, the dont beleive, now you have another group that beleives and hates god and they are flat evil, the first guy is just lost the secound know and choose satan instead of god. so you have the lost, and the evil.
