I find the hate and the vitriol puzzling. I mean yes, I know it's there, but it really doesn't make sense to me. :: shrug :: Maybe it's the way I was raised or something, but it just doesn't make sense.
I know part of it comes from actually reading the source material (bible). Specifically the statement that the greatest commandments are to love got, and then to "Love thy neighbor as thyself".
And so I have to wonder, these folks who hate so vigorously, who claim to be good christians. (I'll leave the non-christian attitudes out of it as I'm not familiar enough with them) If they hate their neighbor so much, and are good christians.... Then they'd have to hate and loathe themselves.

And that REALLY puzzles me.
