Why Do Christians Think That Atheists Hate God?

---

Maybe it’s because, though there are many religions that worship many false gods, Atheists, for some reason, like to focus on us to criticize.

For instance, I never see atheists attacking Hindus and criticizing the many gods that they believe in, nor Muslims, Moonies, Mormons, Christian Scientists, Roman Catholicism, Scientologists, New Agers (who often create their own idols and gods out of wood, clay, etc.), Wiccans, Satanists, Greek Mythologists (yeah, they still exist), there are also still people who believe in the Vikings’ religion (Thor, etc. – they’re still around, too), I don’t even see you jumping on Jews…nope, just us Christians. So though there are many beliefs in many gods in the world, for some reason, Atheists seem to have the need to try and disprove the existence of “The Christian God”, and often do so with such hatred.

Oddly enough though, even as you say you don’t believe in Him, you still address Him as “him”, or as “God”. You still give the supposed non-existent object a name. You also continue to compare everything in the world to God, showing that you do know some things about God, even acknowledging His existence by arguing that He doesn’t exist, because you find it necessary to disprove it. But if He doesn’t exist, then why even bother trying to prove He doesn’t exist? So you can make others not believe in God? Why does it matter to you if somebody believes in God? If I say I love pizza and you say you love lasagna, you leave it at that and choose to agree to disagree. So why does it matter so much to you when somebody says they believe in God?

Also, when you look at the standards that Christians live by (or are supposed to), then what evil could that do to the world? What harm is there in loving your neighbor as yourself? What harm is there in helping others in need? Even the standards you put on yourself are similar to those of us Christians, for when trying to explain to others how you’re a “good person”, you use examples of such standards – you give to charity, you help people in need, you try to make the world a better place, you try to treat people well and not be a jerk, you’ve never killed anyone or stolen anything…

Whether you realize it or not, you atheists still worship a god, for we were all created for worship. Who do you worship? You. You worship yourself, for to worship a being is to live for them, follow their beliefs, live up to certain standards, etc., and you do just that – you live for yourselves – you have certain beliefs about everything that you live up to, you’ve set standards by which to live by, there are things you would never do for your own personal reasons, and everything you do is for the sake of your own good and image of how you see yourself.

So even though you say that you don’t accept the existence of God, you do still worship a god – only, that god you worship is yourself, which could be why you’re so aggressive against the existence of the real God, because you can’t worship both yourself and God, for God demands that none other comes before Him, and you demand that none other comes before you…and that’s worship. And just the fact that you continue to be so aggressive against God and His people shows that you do in fact believe that He exists, you just don’t believe that He should be the God that everybody else worships.

The Reason Atheists Come After Christians the Hardest

The thing is, I know why Atheists come after Christians the hardest, and it has nothing to do with disbelief. In fact, the one who’s fueling atheists’ anger and persecution towards Christians is none other than Satan himself. Like I said earlier, everybody was created to worship someone or something. Ultimately, that was for God alone, but people who reject God and go after His people can only be of the enemy – Satan. Jesus said Himself when talking with those who opposed Him that they’re not children of God, for they reject His Son. If they were, then they’d have believed Him and the things that He’d done. Instead, they were children of the devil, and their persecutions were obvious in their actions against Him. Likewise, atheists too are being influenced by the devil. And what’s interesting also is that such is one of the devil’s greatest tactics – influencing people into believing that neither he nor God exist. Because Satan doesn’t care if you worship him or not, he just wants to destroy people and all of creation, and he knows that the best way to do that is to lead people away from God – making people want to avoid the one “thing” that gives life – the Life Himself.

What’s Really Going On Is A Spiritual Battle

So you see, what’s really going on is a spiritual battle, and though atheists are oblivious to the spiritual side, nor Satan for the matter, they’re actually his greatest agents, even if they don’t believe it.
