R. Hillel pointed out that the essence of Torah is to learn not to do unto others what you would hate being done to you. It is all about self-control and being decent to one's neighbor.
So what does Christianity teach that is more important than this?

"Liberal", "Mainstream" Christianity may be similar in its emphasis.
"Conservative", "Evango-Fascist" Christianity is centered around hatred.
Sei so gut, motl - because I am thinking you got it a wrrong idea of what is "Evangelical" - since you are totally backward about what churches are conservative!.
To get things clear about your do dogmatic statement:
here is a list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_A ... angelicals of just one set of Evangelical groups. Herre as well :
http://www.creeds.net/ is a reference fotr what they bdelieve and preach, many will also have individual websites.
So, bitte, WHICH of these [or which unlisted groups] are hate driven? On what do you base the statement?

There as I have said is near us a pretty heavy duty "Christian" - Holier than Thou - radio station. I listen from time to time to find out what the slightly nutso fringe is going on about. They have a pretty low opinion of, for example., Glenn Beck and see such things as contemplative prayer as dangerous innovations.
They are - from what I have heard - self righteous. Dumb. A tad paranoid. Activist [write your congressman]..
But I have not heard them say word one that sounds like hate. Nor racism. For all they feel other Christians are dangerous, they do not rant anywhere near as much as the PPR "Christians are all @%$! !#$%" contingent.
