Oh, I don't know... Lemme see... Maybe an evangelical preacher who
snorts crystal meth off the ass of a gay prostitute? Pedophile priests
protected by their church?
How about people who fly airplanes into buildings, screaming "God is
great!"? Or a "born again" president who destroys thousands of innocent
lives in order to exact familial revenge?
And then there's the creationists who aggressively attack science and
knowledge, using our children as the battlefield. Or men who maim and
murder women for the slightest infraction of oppressive medieval
religious laws.

There's a REASON you're hated by the world. Incessantly preaching to
people who repeatedly ask you to stop won't endear you to anyone's
heart--not even your imaginary friend's.
But you're not hated for your beliefs, you're hated for your behavior.
You are the worst sort of proselytizing religionist who refuses to
respect the rights or views of others.

Yes, because if there's one thing you love to do, it's to add more
newsgroups to your posts. Your craven need for attention couldn't be
more clear.
So, when you ask "who could be more lost than an atheist?", well, the
answer is peering back at you from the mirror. You are.
You have long since lost your way, little sheep.
