Sounds like you were never really an atheist.

He is making a tongue-in-cheek comment about how atheists feel, and I have seen it demonstrated as well with people who have had a bad experience in a church growing up.

Some 'christian' makes fun of a person, places extremely stringent rules on them, or wrongs them in some way, and that person immediately passes those attributes to God. They blame Him, deny Him, yet harbor resentful feelings against the same deity they deny when their real problem is with some pretentious a-hole who hides behind a God who will one-day expose him/her.

Hence: "God does not exist and I hate him."

I'm not saying every person who denies a God exists has had this experience, but I've seen many who have.

For example:

Eh, I know one thing. If the God of my childhood is real, I'll take the express ticket to hell, and I'll gladly supply the matches and lighter fluid because that guy is a total dick who I wouldn't want to spend five minutes with let alone eternity.

Oldguystudent, I hate that your perception of God is this way. I'd love to buy you a beer, sit down and talk about it someday.
