Hate the belief, not the believer

[Brian37]

"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgement you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you."

Who's judging, I was trying to help with a little advise, hate can become a crippling thing so why do it.

Yet on nearly every post I see of yours, this is exactly what you are doing. Where in his post does he even appear to be hateful?

You do this a lot, seems to me to be a little projection. You come onto an atheist forum, as a christian, and because shock horror, they question your beliefs......, on said atheists forum, you accuse them of being full of hate.

Hey, read all the post before showing your ignorance. I've had people to tell me they hate me, yes members of this forum, if you do not care to believe this fine. Many atheist here have stated they hate the Christian belief, I do not remember if you have, but it wouldn't surprise me if you have.

Being able to quote chapter and verse does not translate to understanding, it seems to me you have completely lost your books message.

That's because it convicts you whether you want to admit it or not, sorry if it does, no I'm not,

that's exactly the effect the scriptures should have on the guilty and all are guilty.

"Hate" in what context? Why should I love claims that are scientifically absurd? Why should I love it when humans pick up holy books of any label and justify bigotry, homophobia, and treat women like property? I do hate that so don't expect me to lie to you or myself.

But that is not the same "hate" those above have which is ignorance and selfish narcissism.

Again, my "hate" isn't "I want to murder everyone who makes claims I don't like". My "hate" is knowing my species is capable of better logic and hating that bad use of logic enough to care to say something. Much like if you had a co worker who had body oder and didn't have a good sense of smell. You'd hate that smell enough to say something.

So yea I do "hate", but it is not the same "hate" that is used by violent people who are simply ignorant. Just like I am sure Galileo hated the fact that people thought the sun rotated around the earth. The real hate was by the society that condemned him for caring enough to tell them a harsh truth they didn't want to face.
