Gosh, you'd think that someone who'd accepted Jesus into their heart would have more love in their hearts. I mean, that's what you say he was about.
Call me crazy, but lighting the tinder-pile under another human just doesn't seem very loving. How could such hateful people be inspired by such a loving god?
I agree. Unfortunately, being Catholic doesn't automatically make someone a good person.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
