This verifies that god does not exist

Everyone could say that God is infinite love, but if something is infinite, then it is impossible to have the opposite. We all know that hate is present in the world, so God could not be infinite love, because there is hate. In that case, God, as an infinite being, does not exist.

correct as usual urban, a negative does not prove something positive, only proves that something is negative.

I also disagree with the statement that God is "infinite love". After all, he created a world and creatures (including humans) that have the potential to be good or bad. I believe instead, that He is in perfect balance...hence He is Perfect. God has done many a strange thing that do not seem to reflect love, but more wrath, anger and sometimes even blind rage. However, I believe that He is full of forgiveness and that can be mistaken or labelled as "infinite love".

God has done bad for the evil doers so that they repent and has destroyed more evil ones so that their acts are not done by others. But god still want the sinner to come to him and repent. How many of you will like your son or daughter to take stances that is opposite to yours. We humans do so by sinning. But even though it makes him sad still he is ready to forgive us. We, by sinning against him the creator and by taking the side of his enemy does inflict great pain on him. But he forgives us. This is because he is love. But infinite love doesn't mean that we can go as we like. Rather we should make him happy by doing good. By doing good we love others and love god , the thing for which we all are created.

The first premise is not right, and even if that is right first premise and second premise do not lead to the kind of conclusion you have arrived at.

God is indeed an infinite love. And the hatred about which you referred is an adventitious aspect of the Almight which is inexplicable which we call 'maya'. It is for us to come of this maya and reach God.

a negative does not prove a positive, think again.

Why do you say if something is infinite, it is impossible to have the opposite? There is infinite space, so it seems like there could very well be hate and love in the world. Plus, you're trying to limit the higher power to our limited human way of thinking. God's ways are higher than ours. We can't understand everything about him. Please don't be so close-minded. ~Jesus loves you and I do too~

This only works if God "is" the world--if they are one in the same. If you are attempting to define a theistic God, it does not follow, especially given the existence of free will.
