Although there are still many Christians who annoy me I forgive them because I believe in the part in the bible about everyone being a sinner. That includes everyone who says they believe in Jesus, and that includes myself too. I don't even have to read the bible to know that I sin too, and it's not my place to look down on Christians for their own mistakes and being just as human as everyone else.

We're all human. Nobody is perfect. The world could possibly become a slightly better place if everyone could admit that instead of looking for scapegoats to blame.

That's good. I don't think hating people will really achieve anything. We should not try to make the world into our enemy.

It's good, hating whole big groups of people can be enabling for wars, racism, ethnic cleansings etc. It's not a good way to live.
A lot of people are annoying and some can be hated but keeping it on individual level seems safer.

Instead of hating an entire religion (globalization versus pattern recognition), it is only justified to hate someone on a case by case basis

Bigotry


Many Christians are homophobic but some churches hang gay pride flags out front


It is one thing to say, f**k mister redelings


But he doesn't represent anyone except himself


He doesn't represent any groups he claims to belong to


That's like saying, he's over six feet tall , so hate everyone over six feet


Wrong



Some Christians are not homophobic. They are not responsible for homophobic Christian's attitude :ninja:

Don't hate anyone for their label, only judge people for who they are.

Pattern recognition is :twisted: discrimination :twisted:


Does not matter that it is justified, necessary,



You can only "hate" someone on a case by case basis s**t
