The F.U.B.A.R. Guide to Speaking Religiously:

Quote from drmarkan:

If you don't hate Christians, how can you read hate from the phrases they use?

I only read hate from the phrases that contain the word "hate," as in "hate the sin ..."
 
Quote from seneca_roman:

I wrote this awhile ago but it seems more true than ever:

“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.”

How dare you offend Zeus with such drivel You will be lucky if he doesnt turn you into one of those goatmen things.
 
Quote from Gordon Gekko:

ehhh original poster is attacking religious beliefs. he's not saying he hates anyone.

you have the problem here, hot him.

and if anyone needs to be blessed, it's you with some religion cleaner for your impaired brain.

Oh, ok. When he attacks religious people, he's not attacking Christians. On the other hand, when Christians attack a sin, they by definition are attacking the sinner.

Thanks for teaching me what an unimpaired brain looks like. lol
 
Quote from jem:

So the above was JBs version of the hate the relgion love the person?

What I ask you is worse. Saying you hate Christians or atrributing hateful things to their actions.

1. I don't hate religion or religious people, not even their actions or words, although I may interpret some of their words (such as "hate the sin") as hateful.

2. Where did you read "love the person" part in my post? I would never love someone the way some religious people would love others.

3. Where did you read "hate Christians" in my post?

4. Where did I attribute "hateful things" to their "actions?" (I was only talking about words, for Chris' sake!)

This is precious. This clown starts a thread with his "translation" of religious language, and then is terribly offended when someone "translates" what he said.

I see. "Religious people" are sacred and are not to be made fun of. OTOH, liberals, democrats, lefties, commies, moonbats are unpatriotic, hate America, and are Godless.

By the way, when someone says that "liberals/democrats hate America," that's not attacking, that's simply stating a fact.

Talk about "unimpaired brains!"

It seems that you have trouble reading. I am not offended at all. It is simply curious that you can read either "hate" or "love' in my post, where the only place the word "hate" can be found is in the phrase "hate the sin." I apologize for my unsuccessful attempt at irony.
