Fair enough, but don't count on every single Christian agreeing with you, thinking there's a need for an apology.
Quote:I apologize to any of you that have been told God hates you.
Doesn't matter really. I would not get offended if someone told me that Gandalf hates me, so to tell me that god hates me, does not make me lose sleep.
Quote:I went to a private Christian college (surprise) and a lot of my friends were/are atheist. I haven't treated them as I should have and I want that to change now.
Then you should apologize to them, not us, and as people already pointed out, words come cheap, action is required. Good luck on your journey to change, it's never an easy one.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
