>black people are actually Jew
Oh no... oh no no no... THOSE lunatics got to him?! The
Black Hebrew Israelites?! I thought it was just general, weirdo, conspiracy theory anti-semites. You know, poa.st users. I never suspected the other fuckers.

I mean... I was bored of this conversation before it really started. I'm not really interested in god debates. Haven't been for years.
As for how "hate" is not the same as something/someone earning your respect, I'm amazed this isn't obvious to people. We're not dealing with a love/hate dichotomy here. We're dealing with at least love/hate/indifferent. And that third option is where I mostly am in regard to the god concept these days.
Need I really say anything more? Surely you can understand that such a position is perfectly compatible with not respecting something/someone.
@book @Xenophon
I disagree. I can reject a diet cola but not because I hate it. I'm just not in the mood for cola or something. I disagree with your definition of hatred.
But I can admit that by your definition I would "hate" god. But that's not my definition, and it's not a common definition as far as I can tell.

Lukewarm is just hate with cope.
