Atheism appeals to me not only because I find it logical, but because I don't have to subscribe to indoctrinating beliefs. Maybe I'm just stubborn, but I'm not willing to uncompromisingly put my faith in one book to define who I am and what I believe in.

I just have to say that just because you were raised in a "christian" religion doesn't mean that the denominations interpretation of christianity actually represents true Christianity. If you believe that God is a God of wrath than you have been misinformed. Because that is the opposite of what Jesus taught. I wouldn't belive in God either if that was the case.
However God or the universe will be wrathful to you if that is what you put out. People who are angry tend to attract to them angry people or situations that make them angry. You reap what you sow, karma or whatever you want to call it. If you are a loving person you will encounter loving people or situations. Have you ever been punched in the face by someone you were giving nothing but love to or feeling nothing but love for? I didn't think so, god is love and love has power.
