A Misguided Idea of Hate

"it’s not hate, it not supporting a lifestyle choice that is a pure lifestyle of sin... but yet your post about the book and so on says much about you also.....hate is throwing a gay person off the highest building.."
This was said to me over Facebook last night. And you wonder why I hate organized religion. I did wind up reporting this person to Facebook and sending a copy of the above to his employer. Given his employer is a university hospital I think they need to know what kind of trash they're hiring and putting in a position to see patient records. Murder does not require hate. Discrimination does. Denial and removal of rights does. Removal of employment protections does. Violence requires hate, but murder? Many murders have been committed without hate ever entering the picture. And you wonder why I despise organized religion. Organized religion has such a low barrier of entry that the thing that wrote the quote above was allowed in. This thing thinks in the same way as those that strap a bomb to themselves and blow themselves up in crowded markets. This thing is only held in constraint by an ancient book telling him what's right and what's wrong. That's very scary. I don't need a book to tell me what's good and what's bad and any god that needs to use the threat of eternal punishment is not one worth worshipping.
Besides, if god exists, who are we to tell an omnipotent being they can't change their mind and must be bound by something they said thousands of years ago? If god can't change his mind, then he's not a god. He's a slave.

Organized religion is weird in that you get zealotry or you get people who understand it is a belief system and calmly disagree with other belief systems.
