There is no excuse for treating gays the way you do either, but that hasn't stopped you from treating them with absolute disdain and condemnation.
Speaking against sin is not treating people bad. That's like saying talking about the damages of robbing banks is personally treating bank robbers badly.
You deserve to be mocked for not only believing in such a being but for also teaching this appalling belief to the young and the vulnerable.

I'm glad you showed how your brand of Christianity has almost nothing in common with mainstream Christianity. A born again Christian knows that Satan is real because we come under constant attack. Sounds to me like you reject 90% of the Bible to form a watered down liberal version. Do you even belong to a denomination or just make it up as you go?
I don't subscribe to any denomination although I am still listed as a member of the SDA Church ...just not an 'active' member any more.

Ignoring the absurdity of your comment ...I personally don't love and accept everybody. If I said that I do I'd be a hypocrite, which I am at times. There are those that I don't care for at all. However, love and acceptance of one's neighbors would be the Christian ideal if it were possible.

Would that bother you, Jeff? Eternal torment for 'the wicked' is important to you, isn't it? Some of us might be forgiven for believing that many Christian fundies relish the idea that others will finish up writhing on a bed of hot coals.
Nope, I look at them as fellow human beings. I don't hate people like your side HATES us.
I have yet to use the word hate, or feel hatred toward another group, or human being. Who are this us you speak of? You seem to divide and separate yourself from others.
You deride your brothers and sisters. You mock them
You shouldn't get emotionally attached to an online opinion message board. It's not real life.
Is that why you mock and deride your LGBTQ brothers and sisters? What you say here is very real. It counts. It is who you are. How you behave here is exactly who you are with your family, and neighbors.

Yes, Jeff. It is real life. And every.single.time you say cruel things about the LGBTQ community on this board you are saying cruel things about real, live people. Some of them are on this board. You don't get to escape that. You don't get to give yourself an out. You don't get to give yourself permission for bad behavior.
You have sulked and complained about the way YOU are treated on this board. But you want to claim it's not real life? Really?
It's time to be an adult, Jeff. You're getting called out.
