Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God. ~Heywood Broun
If there was no God, human fantasies would be individual choices, and easily dismissed. But if there IS God, it could follow that some, living in denial of this reality, would lash out in hysterical, irrational hostility.
I observe an outrage.. an irrational hysteria against God, ESPECIALLY, the God of the bible, among militant atheists. Every forum with a religio/philosophical topic is a magnet for these militant, hostile atheists, who seem to be on a crusade, or personal vendetta against God. They mock, ridicule, and bully those who express any kind of faith in God, which is nothing but the typical human expression of religious bigotry.
The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not. ~Eric Hoffer
The very presence of this irrational, highly emotional bias against God is evidence of some deep seated issues with the Creator. It is a 'daddy issues!', psychological phenomenon, where unjustified, intense hostility is directed at a Figure who is not the cause of the irrational obsession, merely the target.
It can be expressed by the pop meme,
'There is no God!! ..and I hate Him!!'
