Misotheism
-
Misotheism is the hatred of God, or the Gods.
At times, Misotheism can stem from a horrible moment in a persons life where the person feels they have been mistreated by God. But most Misotheists are people who either:Find the teachings of the God they believe in to be immoral and wrong.
Feel that the Holy Book of the God they believe in paints an image of an evil God, rather than a wholy good one.
Blame God for the suffering in the world.
A combination of the three.
These are the major reasons for Misotheism, though there can be any others, and the only requirement of being a Misotheism is that you hate God.
A person does not even have to believe in a God to be a Misotheist. Simply hating the idea of God and the image portrayed of him/her/it is enough to be classed as a Misotheist.
Misotheism is not to be confused with Dystheism, Maltheism, Antitheism, or Satanism.
