Where do you read hate in what I said?
the part where we are all born terrible people just because we exited a vag. I think that is pretty clear. From what I have seen of the bible it clearly states that nothing we do on our own amounts to anything unless it involves this particular god. I have even been to bible studies and have heard this from the teachers. It appears to me that they want to make good and sure that the only self esteem you have is being Christian.
Also so as not to go to far off topic, the idea that all sexual sin is equal may be true in the bible but not to the christians of today. The present is all we really have.
