In the NT, Jesus tells his followers that ''people will hate you, because they hated me, first.'' And sadly, many believers find that passage to mean that tension, division and bigotry is acceptable in Christianity so long as you can link it to Scripture, somehow. (but call it something else) Division and bigotry is looked upon as ''love'' when believers are trying to bring a stray ''sheep'' back to the flock. I just find the whole thing at this point, and have for some time, to be disingenuous.
Supporting people despite their differences is a great example of love.
Spoken like a true atheist! Welcome to the club where we rape and murder all we want!
