That may be true, but I don’t understand what that has to do with loving them or hating their faith.
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.”

So, do you think one can love Jersey Girl and hate her faith?
I want Jersey Girl to give up her faith. If her faith (or the faith of any Christian) has anything to do with me going to hell or suffering because I'm an unbeliever, then yes, I hate the faith.

Never have. Never will.
If you don't like challenge, then don't invite it.
You don't have to read the thread. You can comment all you want and say what you want. I reserve the same right.
At this point I'm going to ignore you because you aren't contributing to the thread. You're just ranting and raving like a lunatic. I'm very disappointed in you. That's all I'm going to say.
Rant all you like. You're welcome to leave the thread if you care to. I prefer that.

One doesn't debate somebody on a diatribe. It serves no purpose. When you say something worthy of discussion instead of spouting vitriol against those who express a religious belief perhaps you will get a different response from people.
You are a coward. That's all I have to say about you.
