So, just to be clear, I don't hate god of the bible.  I can't really hate someone if I don't believe is real.  Not to offend anyone, but I "hate" him in the same way I might hate the villain in a video game.

The difference is that Hitchens is a stubborn and prideful person.  I'm not.  I value my personal safety above almost everything else.  There are very few things I would be willing to put my life on the line for.  If someone has a gun to my head, I'm going to do what they say.  

I know a lot about Chris Hitchen hate towards God, and I think he hated God in this way: he read the Bible and considered God and Jesus Christ to be the vilains of the book. I read the Bible and to me God and Jesus are the heroes. So, his hate does not comes from belieth, but from thinking they are vilains and not heroes.

A lot of christians will say that atheists are just atheists because they hate god.  As in, they actually do believe in him, but they are mad at him for whatever reason, and so they lie and say they don't.  Just clarifying that this is not the case for either me or Hitchens.
