That may be true, but I don’t understand what that has to do with loving them or hating their faith.

May be true? Either it is or it isn't. If Moses was a murderer and a tyrant what does that say of his religion?

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.

Gays have a history of promiscuity. All gays are promiscuous.

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.

Really. Have you read the 6 pages of raving and ranting that you posted before I showed up here again?

Get a mirror. Look in it this time.

It says there's more to the religion. You know like, oh, I dunno....a New Testament?

You raised the issue of homosexuality. Show me where "Bloody Jesus" condemns homosexuality.

Second time I'm asking here...

Go ahead and level an ad hom instead of answering that question. It's apparently becoming a pattern with you.

what does that say of HIS religion?

(Moses didn't have a New testament. He ran the cult of Jehovah.)
