Why do some christians find it so tough to believe I don't really hate them? I just strongly disagree. That's hate? I don't think so.

Some, the extremist ones, may see your disagreement as hatred toward them rather than just oppossing to what has been established as true.

how strongly do you voice your disagreement? i don't think someone hates me just because we don't agree. do you think i hate you?

I think that Evangelical and born again Christians are so eager to 'share the word' that they don't stop to consider that they could be offending someone's sensibilities. When the non-Christian tells them that they disagree, they take offense. It is just as offensive if a Muslim approached a Christian and told them they are wrong and visa versa. Free speech should come with a warning on it, that the speaker has the obligation NOT to offend the listener. In other words people should keep their religious and political opinions to themselves. Then peace and equity would be had on all sides.

I dont think you hate me, or anyone for that matter. Some people are quite defensive, and will take any person questioning their reasons behind religion as an attack, and thinking you hate them. Has anyone actually asked if you hate them??

These are people who are more about their egos than they are about Christ's teachings. It strokes their egos and their warped fantasies of what it is to be Christ-like to believe that they are "persecuted" just because you tell them that you're not interested in being proselytized.

The same reason gay people think Christians hate them when they really don't. It's a part of our society now. If you disagree with someone it means you hate them. If you don't like Obama's policies you hate all black people. If you want to stop illegal immigration you hate all Mexicans. If you say Michael Jackson was a pedophile your just plain hateful. I get accused of hate all the time, and all I'm doing is expressing the unpopular view of things and not backing down. I guess I need sensitivity training.

Let's see. You would probably capitalized the word Democrat but you don't capitalize the word Christian. You refer to them as "church peepull" You think that priests and preachers "should be wearing diapers because both are full of "it"." Your thoughts on paying pastors - "I don't go to any church and if I did I wouldn't pay the liars or the lying liars who pay them a red cent." Your thoughts that Jesus would have been a drag queen if he has brothers or sisters - he did have brothers and sisters. You refer to their beliefs as fairy tales, figments of their imagination and the products of a disturbed mind. I could go on, but if you think that's just strongly disagreeing without being insulting and hateful, you have your own issues.

I am sure that 99% of the people on AB disagree with me on at least some religious matters. I don't feel like even 1/2 of those hate me, rather they are Athiest, Agnostic, or of another religion. There are some of all three groups though that come across in a hateful manner. It is a sensitive matter and understandably people are going to get upset once in a while and say something we wish we hadn't, as we are all human. (James 3:2) Some will come back and apologize, while some others will continue to put salt in the wounds. While it is good to discuss a matter of such importance, when no one is learning something or people are starting to get irritable, it is best to agree to disagree and walk away. That way, maybe in another thread on another subject, one or the other might be able to see something they had not known before or at least understand why the other believes like he/she does. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%203:2;%20Col4:5-6;%20Pro%2017:14;%20Romans%2012:18;%201Pet%203:11;&version=47;50;8;77;51;
