When you say you hate atheism, you are essentially saying that you hate disbelief in gods.
Essentially, I am saying I hate the very concept that God(s) do not exist. If there is a defining term for the concept - rather than the adherence to the concept itself - I'd like to know what it is if it'll make my position clearer.
This is such a vague, and rather odd comment.
If I get this right, you are admitting that you do not believe God exists, but you completely resent the term "atheist" and refuse to be called one, because you hate them (but not all of them, because you are cool with your atheist peers here). Seemingly you hate them, because you hate the concept that God doesn't exist. Is that to say, you really want God to be real, but you don't think he is, so you are really pissed at him for it?
Maybe I am way off, I'd like to hear more.
I don't know if God(s) exist.
I don't want to be labelled an atheist because A) I don't disbelieve in theism and B) because I don't want to be tied to an idea I loathe (the idea of a godless universe).
I don't hate atheists, I hate the idea of a godless universe. A godless universe is - completely IMO - a fundamentally nihilistic universe, and nihilism is something I'm very much sick of and would like to escape from.
Yes, I am angry with my current faithlessness. It's not a focused anger, though, so I don't direct it at God(s) or anything else in particular.
