I have no interest in the Hate in the Name of Jesus Web site and I take offense to your suggestion that I would.

You know as well as I that it is easy for any blasted jerk to call himself or herself any religion he or she wants and tell you only the religion he or she wants you to hear.

Forgive me, I am trying to phrase this without generating offense, but I think what the hate mongers say about what God thinks about some behavior is no darn secret.

If they were honest they would tell you that they are no better because they wish you psychological harm, and wishing psychological harm on your brother is hate, and hate is suicide for a true Christian.

HATE IS SUICIDE.

Got that?

And they would also have to tell you that coercing everybody not to do (some things) is of NO VALUE because what difference does it make if unforgiven people are a little naughty or a lot naughty?  There is no valid point in simply scaring everyone into obedience on something like gay rights.  It would be like winning a battle and losing the damn war.

They would also have to tell you that the name of the game is saving people from Satan, not making them keep zippers zipped.
They would also have to tell you that everybody messes up and nobody can earn Heaven anyway.
They would also have to tell you that (forgive me again) by seeking forgiveness in Jesus is the only way to go to Heaven (forgive me, i.e., avoid hell)

But nooooooo.  They don't really care about you.  They hate you.  They would actually have to LOVE you to tell you the rest of the story.

A half truth is very dangerous.  A LITTLE knowledge is a DANGEROUS thing.

Case in point.  I used to worry about ze draft, never mind we never had one since 1973.  A year ago I read military enlistment standards on about.com.  I am disqualified because of sleep apnea.  I cannot enlist.  Ergo, I cannot be drafted (at least not until all the eligible dudes are dead)

The truth sets a person free.  

Next time you run into some foul mouth hate monger pseudo-Christian, remember what I said, maybe tell him that real Christians who actually read the Bible once or twice or three times say he is wrong, and in danger of forfeiting his eternal life.  Maybe offer to help him learn to read.

And please try to remember that I want no part of his problem.  I have peace and he doesn't.  Peaceful people just want to get along and maybe once in a while step on a few half truths.  

That is the other reason I wanted you to know this.  I don't think you really know those "Christians" are wrong.  Their own co-religionists ask them to repent.

I ALSO didn't want you to live the rest of your life thinking the half truth was the whole story.
