rrufff, No sensible person can understand hatred, nor can they see any real reason for it. Hatred is one of the most unproductive emotions that can be felt by a human being, and it, usually causes harm to the hater in the end result. How can one so filled with hate, love anyone, other than themselves? All people should seek to learn from others, but unfortunately, we must be careful who we choose to learn from. No one can know, with absolute certainty, what the plan for the earth, and all of it's inhabitants, really is. The one book that attempts to tell us of the future, and ultimate end, has been so tampered with by flawed human beings, that one cannot be sure what is the truth, and what is the opinions of those that have done the tampering. I find it odd that many of those self-professed believers are always quoting from the bible, instead of speaking for themselves. Also, some of those same believers constantly quote from the old testament, and then turn around and hate the Jews, whose ancestors wrote that part of the bible. What sense does that make? Too many of them take great pride in the fact that they are seen in church on Sunday, and have donated to building a fancy building in which they worship, and claim that it was erected to the glory of God, when, in fact, it is a monument to themselves. At lease one of those posters thinks that he has been chosen by God to be one of the "elect" people of this earth, and that he can say, or do, anything he wants with impunity. That is about as arrogant as a human being can be, especially since he is a broker in gold, which makes him of the same ilk of the money changers that Jesus drove from the temple. Note the word "temple". Jesus was protecting a Jewish temple, and yet some Christians hate the very Jews that Jesus was protecting. Does that make any sense? I am not a Jew, but they are the closest religious friends of the Christians on earth. Many Christians can get along better with Jews, than they can with other Christians of a different denomination. Those whom you mentioned can't get along with anyone except those that believe exactly as they do.
