By and large I do not hate the individual that ascribes to Christianity.
What I hate is when people use their devotion to the religion to get out of responsibility of some kind.
I hate to see an ethnicity, religion, or demographic refered to in absolute black and white terms. Someone is unequivicably good or bad regardless of
what they have actually done.
I hate the "us vs. the world," "saved vs. unsaved" mentality.
I hate that Christianity, as a whole, allows no respect for other belief systems, and in fact actively surpresses many of them.
I hate that Christianity is really so negative towards humanity in general. I hate the dichotomy that we are all inherantly evil, but that we can pass
all of our 'sins' off onto Jesus and become pure. I hate the lack of consideration that human choice plays into the good or evil of a person and
that becoming good is a very long process.
But "hate" is too strong a word... I realize that some people need these beleifs because it is all they can really handle, I don't hate them for
that.
