aaaaaaand you think it was created by the god YOU were raised by, couldn't possibly be one of the 6000 other gods humanity has made-up, riiiiiiiiiiiight?
I think such a God necessarily has certain qualities/attributes. Since you're spouting bullshit about me, maybe I'll do some guessing about you.
You think that everything came from nothing, or maybe that it's not worth knowing since it might be difficult or require life change.
You knew at one point that there is more than our physical existence.
You made up a god. Yes, you! I didn't. Your god sucks. He doesn't fit your standards, doesn't act the way you think he should (though there are certain hard questions you've never asked and can't answer).
Of course it's easy to hate someone who believes that the only explanation for the ordered complexity of, say, DNA is intelligent design. But you will really hate yourself when you realize that the one who made it all came to live with mankind and show a rebellious people the way back to right standing with Him.
Classic projection:
Atheists don't think that everything came from nothing, Christians do. We don't have a made up god, YOU do and it gives people free will then punishes them for not acting the way the government it wants them to.
You probably think modern faith healers are divine as well. You don't think there were faith healers back in the Jesus days? Running the circuit claiming to be the next christ, pretending to heal people and talk through "god" in order to deprive folks of their goods, same old, same old.
