Emperor Palpatine?
So if I said, "You can get rid of Palpatine or hitler, and remove their influence from history", you'd say, "Hmm, let me think, this is a toughie. Can I get back to you, I need to think it over."

Yes, I watched Endgame just today, and Janeway messed with history and all was well.
HA!
Simple. They can hate the idea of God that exists in the minds of human beings. Because to an atheist, that's what God is....Got me wondering how a person can hate God and call themself an Atheist.
But why would someone hate an idea that exists in other people's minds?Simple. They can hate the idea of God that exists in the minds of human beings. Because to an atheist, that's what God is.
Perhaps because they believe that ideas causes suffering to them or others.But why would someone hate an idea that exists in other people's minds?
Ideas have no reality but their effect, I agree. But we can still hate an idea. Wouldn't you hate the idea that it's OK to rape children? Or the idea that all women want to be brutalized during sex? Don't you find even the idea of such things abhorant, apart from the behaviors that follow them?There are many ideas that I think can be very harmful. Even so, I hate the actual harm, not the idea.
Honestly, I don't spend much time thinking about these ideas until they become actions. As I do not think about them, it is difficult to hate them.Ideas have no reality but their effect, I agree.

The one that Atheists say they don't believe in.What God?
The one that Atheists say they don't believe in.
INFINITE?Yeah, there's an INFINITE number of Gods that I don't believe in.
Only one?
I don't know about you folks, but I find limiting myself to just one god to not believe in to be so dull.

Not if the book is well-written...lol.Don't you think hate is too strong a word for a fictional character?
Lol...now that's pretty funny. I'm going to have to remember that.Wait, wouldn't that make you guys Apantheists?
