I have two Facebook friends who are Christians and they post stuff like this almost every day.
Ok, so you established that good Christians preach against hateful rhetoric that bad Christians have, but do you think it has any effect on bad Christians? Like for instance on Lek here, do you think we'll see him as a best man on some gay wedding any time soon or do you think it's more likely he'll continue preaching how gay people are sinners/ evil?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
