A loaded question
The question, "Does God exist?" presumes a premise which pantheism denies, that God is Exisence. So does Existence exist?

I think that most atheists simply are haters of God and hate anyone who likes God.

I don't see how this is relevant to my post, General.

As a rule, atheists don't believe in a god or gods. Period. Anything else you choose to say about them as a group is bound to be false. "So many gods, so many creeds! So many paths that wind and wind, when just the art of being kind is all this sad world needs." --Ella Wheeler Wilcox |

I just did define God as Existence. Existence is anything and everything that exists.
I am not seeking an answer. I am giving one. Yes, God exists because Existence exists and existence is God. |

So you would define "God" as a newborn baby, a bee sting, a diamond ring, a meteor, moon dust, cancer, a wad of gum stuck to your shoe and anything else-- good, bad or banal-- that exists. I'm not sure how that is in any way illuminating, but you have provided me with your definition. Thanks? "So many gods, so many creeds!

Hence, calling me "a hater of God" would be like me calling you a hater of unicorns, a hater of Sasquatch or a hater of mizzlegidgets, assuming you don't believe in these particular allegations any more than I believe in yours. You can't hate what you don't believe exists. "So many gods, so many creeds!
