Wrong. And I DID say I hate the Koran- but you, in your angered and prejudiced state, missed it. You seem to be unable to read statements that do not conform to your prejudices. And the Buddhists texts are some of the few texts I DON'T hate. If you really want to know why I'll tell you- AGAIN. But I don't think you want to know. I've said (how MANY times???) that I hate all beliefs that require blind adherence, that require one to give up reason, that require a suspension of disbelief. Of course my philosophy doesn't damn you to HELL or anything for not agreeing with me. And I won't even hate you for thinking I hate you. But I'll still hate your ideas. ANd I especially hate the idea that you have to hate a PERSON because you hate their ideas. SO I guess that would mean that Christians DO hate people who engage in HATEFUL sinful activity and that "Love the sinner, hate the sin" crap was all a load of mularky? That makes sense. Christians, for the most part, never acted like they loved the sinners. I don't love the people who hold ideas I hate. I think it is enough that I don't hate them, or stone them, or burn them, or blow them up, or shoot them, or even WANT to do any of those things. To me, people who hold ideas I hate, are merely misguided.

Would you please post specific examples of instances of "all kinds of hell, condemnation, and damnation" breaking loose after letting people know that you are a Christian? Because I really don't believe you. I've never seen, or even heard of, anyone in the United States persecuted just for being a Christian.
