Xians say a lot of daft stuff like that, though. In the end, whether they admit it or not, many hate anybody who isn't one of them and doesn't parrot their beliefs. Including those who are the wrong kind of Xian.

I'll do you one better: hate the underlying fundamental flaws in human nature, not the inevitably flawed human institutions which arise from them.

(I'm not trying to jerkily blow up your argument. I have this intellectual tic where I look for the conceptual "lowest common denominator" in everything--like trying to construct a kind of philosophical unified field theory.)

That's a nice sentiment.
It's a damned shame the hypocrites won't allow it. They hate the sin AND the sinner, despite
what they say.

If that was only true. The truth is they will be the first to cast a stone at the sinner, and hope they didn't getcaught doing the same thing or something worse.

Good one!

That is how I feel. I have Xian friends as well as a few atheists' friends.

That's a good one

I say something that means the same thing but gets to the thing I actually hate which is faith. I say "I hate faith not the faithful" Faith has been made to be a vertuois thing when it's actually the suspension of reason. It literally suspends the person's ability to question his/her beliefs.

Idk, those believer types are pretty annoying...

You know how Christians lie. Persecution is one of their favorite pastimes, that and bingo.

I don't care for the word "hate". I don't hate anyone. There are a plethora of things and belief systems that I disagree with. But "hate" is too strong for me. I feel like it puts a black mark on ones soul/heart.

I would agree with that. Who am I to judge what another believes in? We all have to decide what makes sense in this world. I know that what I believe doesn't make a whole lot of sense to them either.
