Keep close to Nature's heart... climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.* Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.*One of the widest gaps in human experience is the gap between what we say we want to be and our willingness to discipline ourselves to get there.

OY, as far as I know, God started handing out great ideas long before there was a universe, and is still handing them out now to anyone who is sensible enough to listen.

 

What we have in the Bible is great stuff but it isn't everything God ever said or did -- not by a long shot.  There is more to God than could be included in any billion Bibles. 

 

Now, when atheists tell you to hate God with their wild abandon and do everything that is immoral and stupid in the name of atheism, then I have to wonder how atheists ever got past the first grade.  They sure don't think more clearly than first graders.

 

How did atheists get so bitter, anyway?

There are transcendent qualities that GOD possesses which, by definition, man can never grasp.

Do atheists really say to hate GOD. How does one hate a person/being that does not exist?

Drinking from the Well of Marah?

The above four statements correspond to your four paragraphs.
