I do not hate Christians. I despise their beliefs. I have family and friends that are Christians. I don't hate them, I love them.
The problem is that people's beliefs inform their actions.
The fact that you do not act like a dick, does not excuse all the Christians that do.
You are ALL reading and interpreting the same book in order to justify your behaviors and actions.
The fact that you seem like you are probably a progressive type of Christian, is meaningless. Those Christians that act like the Westboro Baptist church get their justification from the same book as you do.
When atheists act like dicks, it is because they are dicks. And they would be dicks no matter if they were atheists or not. Acting like dicks does not make them bad atheists, it makes them bad humans.
Nothing at all I disagree with there. And I would not want to excuse Christians who act like dicks!
