Calling sin what it is is not hate. Wrong is wrong period. But calling out sin is an act of love not hate. I do not hate homosexuals, I work with plenty of them and not one of them would tell you I hate them or have ever been unkind. Hater is like racist - its the word liberals throw when they have no other arguement
I would also argue that those who are not "Bible thumpers" - those who do not read and study the Bible - are the ones that have no inkling what Jesus Christ brought into the world - He did not try and fail.
However, the only reason I brought up religion is a poster asked what defined deviancy. I replied with the only answer I can give for myself. Others have other standards. But please get over the hate crap.
Callin' it like I see it, sweetie. But there is a good reason for separation of Church and State.
Religion is personal and, within the personal, one can espouse any view or interpretation of the Bible that makes sense to us.
But religion is not something we can agree on. That's why there are so many churches and denominations.
I once sat in a Bible study class where we spent two hours discussing the meaning of the Parable of the Prodigal Son. At the end of the time, there were as many opinions as to the true meaning as there were participants. But we weren't fighting ... it just spoke to us differently.
