I wonder why other gods get so upset if some people say they don't exist.
While it's difficult to say that some God gets upset when some people deny his existence... It's actually a confusing metaphor, the question of anger and resentment arising among those who believe in God is answered when we look at what happens when a person is forced without his will and acceptance to contend with the challenge of being told that his order of existence is not valid.
Firstly, such an act is no ones responsibility save the person who wills and works it out for himself.
Secondly, it can't be demonstrated that one way of ordering is better than the other. Of course as some here try to insinuate- bread and butter issues will arise. Like we have more and better bread because of xyz. Like to make others envious or something.
That is, an attack on one's world view is an attack on the person holding it.
Another reason, perhaps the reason that's spurred me to make this response is; It's in my nurture to presume superiority, and I'm a jealous person. I'm proud and I don't like it when someone messes with my pride.
