Really?

It's part of why I quit Christianity. People shouldn't feel guilty about that stuff particularly when their situation gives them no other option.
I don't blame you for leaving the church. Churches like to stand by the bedside and in every corner of your mind...

In a sense, hating someone is self destructive. But if the followers of this religion didn't have a history of killing and persecution, then we probably wouldn't have such nasty things to say about their god.
Disparate thoughts are just that anyway. Something that comes and goes, like all emotions do. Looking at a hot woman that isn't your wife/steady girlfriend, or husband/steady boyfriend, should not be a crime.
I get what you are saying...it would be nice to have a consistency with the thoughts and actions though, and I think we all crave for that liberty. The trouble is that often what we think, does not agree with doing good, and that's where most people draw the line.

I don't understand what your comment meant. You said "I don't joke about what really takes place". Which would be what... atheists eating babies? That's what I was joking about, so you think that actually takes place?
I haven't looked at the killing babies texts in detail, I'm going off memory. But I'm fairly certain that they have been blown out of context. And the not joking part wasn't about atheists, but Satanists.
