Be that as it may - there's a difference between making a inconsiderate emotionally motivated comment and creating a convoluted and comprehensive system of beliefs, justifying bigotry, genocide and eternal torture.
If you can believe, that some innocent people deserve to be rejected by god and condemned to torture (in whatever mild-mannered way you decide to put it), because they act in a different way, than you would like them to - why can't other people, who perhaps deeply believe that guns are evil, believe that innocent gun owners deserve a horrible fate? Because you added an imaginary friend into the equation, who takes away your responsibility? Clever...
Where's the respect for the families of homosexuals, when they're told their loved ones will deservedly burn in hell, or that their relationships don't deserve a legal status?
I don't believe those things, HN. I have already explained my position.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
