text: does god hate us? why? if god loved us so much, why would he set us up for failure from the get-go? why would he even go through that whole thing with adam and eve? and why would he then wait several thousand years to send some sort of symbol of his love? and why would bad things happen? and why would he constantly tell his people to commit genocide? why would he lie and show wrath? why would he create evil in the first place? to test us? that's absurd. that reminds me of an ex-girlfriend who always use to test me with petulant questions about whether i loved her or not. is that who god is supposed to remind us of?  in short, does god hate us? no. he doesn't exist.
