It is stated in the Bible that God sent his only son to Earth.it is stated in the Bible that God made promises to Abraham.It is stated in the Bible that God told Moses to return to Egypt.
The principle must be logical, regardless of whether one believes God exists or not. If I drink and drive and kill a Child in a stupid accident, I fail to see how God can be correctly blamed for my willful actions. So IF God exists, it is silly to blame Him for the death of the child. I hold the blame.
I refuse to pander to their nonsense Keith, they want to believe what they want to believe but then are incapable of supporting what they are told to believe. Allegedly their book is the word of their god and if they have any doubts about what is written in the word of god they believe they will go to hell. When they see the word of god supporting the abominable behaviour mentioned in the OP they have no honest response and spew their hatred for the person who points out the abomination of the word of god.Thanks. I get the impression that many theists think atheists believe in god and hate him. It seems hard for someone who believes in god to imagine some people don't.
Harry Potter did it. Would be the atheists response. You can't

No you don't.
Well apart from the fact that you wouldn't know what I believe in. I have said on many occasions that I do believe that plural gods existed I have said they were here once and left thousands of years ago. you dispute that and say they never existed on earth.Believe in gods.
So what do you mean by " the wrong signals"?
I would say that anyone who 'hates God' is not an atheist in the usual sense of the word.
theophobic.
i don't think a one-word label for what you believe has been invented yet. Feel free to make one up!
It is my guess that some atheists come across as theophobic because they adopt an aggresive tone ie they signal theophobia, not atheism.
The trouble is you get theists making threads like this:.....
