What would you call someone who believes in God but hates him?

Question

I went through a stage when I first read the bible where I was fairly convinced there was a God but I didn't particularly like the way he did things so I would not submit to his authority...

This would have excluded me from atheism and christianity and even calling me an agnostic would not have been accurate, so what would you call such a person?

Maybe you're looking for the term ''rebellious theist''.

I presume you'd be called a Satanist or Demon Spawn by lots of Christians even though you don't actually worship Satan, although, from experience, facts have never got in the way of a theist.

Well you'd be in the "theist" category, but I'm not sure if there's a name for a theist who hates god...antitheist?

Anonymous · Answer

I believe "antitheist" or "maltheist" are both acceptable -- although maltheists generally believe that God is Evil, rather than simply not wishing to submit to his authority.

I am sorry, but, I would have to classify that as being of the synagogue of satan. Why? Because satan also believes in God and also hates Him.

I would say you are fighting the power. If you truly believe and you are going against a god than you are a rebel.

More power to you. =)

You are not an antitheist, though. That's different.
