Yet it's fundamentalist Christians who have murdered atheists, not the other way around. How come, Mr. Scarecrow (Wizard of Oz)?

Is it impossible for a mother to love a son who is a criminal unless she loves his criminal lifestyle as well?

Jesus didn't have a problem with word traps. Fundamentalists like you tried it on Him time and again.

And if you were a Jesus follower, you wouldn't have a problem either.

You ducked another question.

Do you really think nobody notices?

The question was: How do you demonstrate that love for gays?

This tired old canard is trotted out by fundies all the time.

Hitler was a Christian. Stalin was insane. Communist despots didn't kill "in the name of atheism." They killed in the name of power by establishing fear and eradicating enemies.

Kinda like the Abrahamic god.

I never expected him to ask anyone how to demonstrate love for gay people.

I once worked with a Ukrainian man who fled the USSR with his parents when he was a child. He was a religious man, a part of the Eastern Rite Catholic Church, and he used to say, "People don't like to hear this, but Jesus was the first communist because he advocated for his followers to share what they have among one another."

Communism cannot exist in its pure form because it will be corrupted by human error, just like religion. They both become just another form of power and control.
