Well, there was this one time. Genesis 6:6Off and on for years I've been trying to figure out what makes the hateful atheist different from the nice atheist, and maybe the answer is here. Much better to think of oneself as the result of some kind of "Big Bang" fluke rather than a deliberate creation that got out of hand, not unlike Dr. Frankenstein's monster.

That's another. Also, he created the aardvark.

Frankenstein's monster is actually a good way of thinking about what it means to be sentient. But Dr Frankenstein would be nature and the blind forces of evolution, not a deity.

How does that (all-knowing God supposedly regretting something he did) answer the question of what makes a “hateful atheist” different from a “nice atheist” (whatever that is supposed to mean according to you)? Seems like the two things are completely unrelated.

If the Earth were capable of regret, it would regret creating humans

As a hateful atheist, I feel I am qualified to propose that Genesis 6:6 is one of the most (out of many in the Bible) ridiculous and contradictory for belief in any Christian God. For an omnipotent, omniscient and ever present 'god' to admit making a mistake and THEN blame his own imperfect creation....man... is frankly 'unbelievable'. Thanks for highlighting this point for us all, so admirably.

Leaving that snake with the silver tongue in the same garden as his most prized yet naive possession(s).

And starting with Genesis 6:7, He committed the largest example of cold-blooded, genocide in history: He wiped out 99.99% of mankind. He never regretted that. What a nice guy.

if I said that that bible verse is from one version of a common ancient Near East flood myth and not an actual historical event, then what type of atheist does that make me?
Just for the record, I was an atheist even before I heard the term big bang theory.

The platypus? God mixed up his medications on that day.
Then there was that time when God and Lucifer went to the race track. A bundle was lost on that bet.

Regrets are man made notions, not the God Force. Is it then perhaps man that then regrets his own attitude.

My brother has some in the river on his property! I’m sure a platypus has a purpose and is “cute.” However, the title was “Did God ever regret something He did?” The main reason for his regret is that he took some parts from stockpile A, some from B and some from C. He had a shortage of some parts in each pile when he was done with the platypus. He had to choose between making additional mixed-matched creatures or throw some parts away. In the end, it was all about the money lost....just like his bet at the race track.

If the Earth were capable of regret, it would regret creating humans That's the crux of why the Gnostic is on the correct trail, and the fundamentalist is way off the trail. Obviously, God, being perfect and good, didn't create the Earth we know. The fundamentalist preacher will claim God created all these things, but that's obviously not the case, since it's all inferior in design. Even life is inferior in design. One couldn't come up with a more inferior set of laws for Physics, which in essence translates into inferior laws of Biology and life. If "intelligent design" was the case, it would be the same design as "evolution", but that's why neither is correct, because of the inferior design. One couldn't come up with a more inferior set of laws of Physics, which in turn translates into an inferior set of laws for Biology. Proof of this is the fact that despite all our technology and research, doctors and other so called "professionals" haven't made the human body much better. Therefore, we're left with the inevitable conclusion that it is proven that the "enemy" (Satan, Devil, demons, or combination of such critters) did the job which we see. Nonetheless, there is a superior Universe we call Heaven or Paradise, created by the true good God, which by the words of Jesus we can only begin to understand through the Holy Ghost, the lone critter he left us. That's why no one knows how to even pronounce the real name Jesus had, because in his words, it was only blasphemy of the Holy Ghost that wouldn't be forgiven. Since the world is proven to be of the work of the prince of this world (identified by most as Satan), and the perfect "world" is out of our reach, ergo the Gnostic path is the correct path, but also "ergo" the prince and his demons have enabled tools to thwart any attempt at organized Gnosticism to function properly. ERGO, there can never be a functioning Gnostic church in this existence. We have seen it tried and doomed to failure in broad scope due to inner squabbling provided by the enemy. Some will say that inner squabbling hurts the present day Christian churches, too, and that's true, with the squabbles enabled by the enemy, but they are very mild compared to squabbles the enemy thoroughly works against Gnosticism. So, it is best to attend the well meaning services of fundamentalists and let each person act with love to each other. Despite what is often said, camaraderie is very strong among the fundamental Christian churches. Can we make, the world a better place? As Tony Christie said of demonic forces, 'can we ever stop them, some of us are gonna try!" insert code here

Just for the record, I was an atheist even before I heard the term big bang theory. Now, as I understand those who are acquainted with the Big Bang Theory, it involves some nerds, one of them a super nerd, who get women to like them, while converting more people to their nerd community.
