I suppose I should address the initial question as well. Mostly, ditto to RickSp. I consider myself an agnostic, but believe that people are essentially "spiritual beings" and need some form of religion. I do not "hate" God, nor do I "hate" people who believe in God. I respect those who can live according to a moral code that demands a level of charity and self-sacrifice. I respect those who understand that the important element of any religion or moral code is respect and compasion for others. I have no respect for those who demand that everyone view the world through their particular system of belief, leaving no room for the possibility that they could be wrong. I have no respect for people who lack compassion and and humility.
