and this just came out, which bears that out.

as for people justifying hate because it's their 'religious belief', it's still hate...and is counter to what the original christian had to say about loving one another, not judging, etc.



people have freedom of speech...and of course freedom of religion. however, their freedom to swing their religious fist ends at the tip of the other guys nose.

many christians don't focus on the OT, unless it's to support an argument they are making. for the most part, it's thrown out as archaic...again, til useful.

since so many supposed christians pick and choose what's sinful, they are out on a limb when using their religions as their reason for judging.
how great a sin when it's someone else committing it.

Nobody claims that it is ok to hate based on religious beliefs. Hate is not a part of Christianity. I'm sure there are some so-called Christians who hate, but I didn't hear any hate in Phil Robertson's comments.

If I say that a man and a woman having premarital sex is a sin, does that mean I hate them? If I say that watching pornography is a sin, does that mean I hate people that watch pornography? If I say that two men having sex is a sin, does that mean I hate them?

Where does the word "hate" even come into this debate?
