I recently wrote about the fact that Liberals don’t really hate war, but they demonstrably do hate freedom — and America, too. The numerous responses I got to that intentionally provocative topic were quite interesting, to say the least. Predictably, most Conservatives seemed to love the concept.
Meanwhile, most Liberals really “hated” it. Funny how intolerant these Left-wing, progressive, sometimes-defenders of the virtue of universal “tolerance” can be when it’s their own ox getting gored. I truly think some of these Woodstock Nation peaceniks might get a little violent if provoked.
So then I got to thinking, “What else do Liberals hate?” The logical answer to that question is: Liberals hate God, too.
I reasoned that if you love something (or someone), you usually want to keep it around, preserve and protect it, even nurture it and watch it grow strong and flourish. If, on the other hand, you hate something, you generally want to . . .

Upon reading the headline, my very first thought was exactly that.
GREAT POST!
HOW TRUE!
GODSPEED!
Those feelings are NOT mutual.
It's no secret that liberals hate god. You see they know that they ARE GOD. As the "true" fountainhead, (small "f", excuse me Ayn Rand), of all that is, was and will be they hate the inference that someone else is all powerful!
Liberals hate God, then he must be a conservative, middle-aged white American male, because liberals hate them most of all.

And how ! I swear these freaks come str8 from atheism.org.

Bump!
I don't care if you wish to believe. Just don't try and force your beliefs on me.
Sounds simple but it isn't...because we all belong to the same society. Take abortion. Third term abortion is undoubtedly murder. Trying to pin that label on first term abortion is a real stretch. But it doesn't matter. It's all a smoke screen for the real agenda - forbidding pre-marital sex. Why try to do that? Because the monotheistic religions forbid it and believers have found that its terribly hard to raise their children the way they wish in a "permissive" society.
I know conservative who are not religious. However none of them behave the way the left does when it comes to Religion. They instead believe in 'live and let live' when it comes to other personal beliefs.

10-4 on that
Sounds like you hate the guys who invented the Republic.
Cuba sounds like your kinda country,please leave.
This is something of which they are proud, not ashamed.
What is the logic in this? That is like saying killing a 1 year old is not murder but killing a child that is 1 year and 6 months is murder.
You dont hate God... you dont believe he exists. You just have a "strong antipathy" for Christians.
Same point I would say
>>I know conservative who are not religious. However none of them behave the way the left does when it comes to Religion. They instead believe in 'live and let live' when it comes to other personal beliefs.
Yes, live and let live by all means. Whatever you do in your personal beliefs is fine by me. That is, unless you use your religious beliefs to hijack planes and pilot them into
buildings to kill thousands in the name of your deity,
just so you can meet 72 black-eyed virgins. That's where I
draw the line.
Interesting. I think it is a little more complicated, however. First, it's pretty hard to hate 'something' you don't believe even exists. Second, keep in mind that a basic belief of liberals is that life is SUPPOSED to be easy and if there WAS a God (particularly a 'loving' God as Christians believe) then by definition life WOULD be easy and since life ISN'T easy, then the logical conclusion is that there is no God.
Liberals HATE the IDEA that their fellow man (make that 'people') could 'fall for' a concept of a loveing God who LETS bad things happen. Hence, their belief (call it their religion perhaps) is that striving to make life EASY as is is SUPPOSED to be, is the responsibility of certain enlightened HUMANS, i.e. them.
Now, if they are the enlightened ones who are to charged with the responsibility of ultimately figuring our how to make life EASY, then it is very disconcerting to them to think that anyone, or anything (i.e. God) might get in their way.
So, you see, it's not easy being a liberal...
