I am not justifying or recommending destroying or injuring Christians, a practice I am deeply opposed to. I am merely expressing my own revulsion (hate) for Christians who destroy other people's lives. That general loved his wife and somehow summoned up memories of joy and delight. The Christian destroyed his dreams. I hate that. Because missionaries often go out of their way to interfere with other peoples' beliefs they are sometimes attacked and killed. A perfect example is Stephen stoned by Jews. Even Paul approved of that (he held the clothes of the rock throwers). I understand, but I do not approve. I am certainly not a Christian, but I think Christians, however deluded they may be (in my opinion) have a right to their beliefs but I think that they should leave others alone. Any Christian who attacks other people's beliefs (e.g. EV) needs himself to be attacked and if possible silenced. I am deeply curious about how believers find and choose their beliefs. If they flaunt their beliefs I think I have a right to question them, or when necessary to criticize them.
