I have never been a theist... I was an atheist from birth pretty much... but I've never hated God any more than I've hated Darth Vader or Professor Moriarty. He's just a fictional bad guy who has his occasional good moments.

If your god is not the god of the bible, or koran, or other holy books, how did you come to know him/her/it?

I follow the faith of LOVE

do you need books , or priests , to see light
do you need teachers to show you LOVE

LOVE is an experience , you don`t know it until you fall in love

Too bad you don't follow the faith of proper capitalization and punctuation.

O Marvel! a garden amidst the flames.
My heart has become capable of every form:
it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks,
and a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Kaa'ba,
and the tables of the Torah and the book of the Quran.
I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love's camels take,
that is my religion and my faith.

ibn araby

Arken , I am trying my best .

Floating around in a pink paradise fantasy land is all well and good Rima, but it doesnt bring much to a debate.

ok lets get something straight:
why should we blame God , give me one reason, why should I hate him ??

Rima,

You seem to once again be operating under the delusion that most of the people here believe that your god or any other god in the universe exists. The majority here do not believe any such thing.

So, very few of us would say we should blame any god for anything since we believe there aren't any to blame. No one is telling you that you should hate your god either... but some of us find it a bit silly that you believe he exists at all.

I hate god in the same way I hate Sauron from LoTR.
