"God Hates You Just The Way You Are! Sodomites, Abortionists, Drunkards!"

Dear Mr. God,

If you really are up there, would you do something about your more rabid followers? They're scaring me, and they're spreading hatred and unacceptance, and they're making the country a worse place to be.

Thanks,
Thistle

I notice he hates plenty of sodomites and drunkards, but only one abortionist. And what about all the murderers and rapists and false idol worshippers, hmmmm?

The problem with any extreme religious zealot is they take a small part of whatever their religion is and extrapolate it into their own new religion (Muslims flying planes into buildings, etc).

The Bible does say that homosexuality is a sin, but it also says hatred and judgementalness are also sins. I only know of 3 places in the Bible that talk about homosexuality, but there are dozens of places that talk about the evil of hating and being judgemental.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God hates gays. Nowhere. It doesn't even suggest that this is the case.

Richie News Flash: God does love homosexuals.
Richie News Flash #2: Richie is a Christian, and Richie loves homosexuals

I second this. There's a big difference between disapproving of something that someone does and hating them for it.

Thistle News Flash: And Thistle loves Richie (in a totally non-sexual, non-making-his-wife-mad, friendly-only way!).

It's nice when people understand and agree.

Hee!

This might have already went through (stupid LJ is sucking today), so if it did I'll delete this.

Dear Mr. God,

I'm remarkably surprised that you refer to God as male. ;)

*laughs* Good point there!

And LJ is pretty darned sucky, isn't it? And hey, I wrote what Chia described as "probably the most sick and twisted thing I've ever read in my entire life"! I should send you a copy!
