Okay what has been puzzling to me since I joined this forum is the immense hatred to those who keep to a literal, Biblical Christian worldview. Sometimes I seriously need to recheck if this is the "Christianity" forum. The attitudes are very hostile, and the atmosphere imo very negative in general. And ironically the people that proclaim 'agape love', (or refer to Dan & John Ford Coley songs on love), are usually the ones most hostile and impatient towards Bible believing Christians.
So why does the agape love fly out of the door all of a sudden when confronted with other views? Even if other views claim exclusivity, and you don't agree, shouldn't agape love, love them nonetheless?
Why is there a need to keep denegrating faithful Christians as "fundies", bigoted, hateful, small-minded, etc. If agape love is indeed agape (universal and unconditional), then shouldn't that include "fundies"?
Maybe I am wrong, and I am new on the forum, but do others recognise this hostile attitude?
Why is it that the fundies are quick to claim that their warnings of hellfire and damnation on all those they see as violating the standards set by God is really love because it is like warning a child about a hot stove, but when the same kind of warning about consequences of hateful attitudes and speech is applied to them, it is suddenly "hostile?"
Trout you can have your haughty attitude, you can be a man of strife, but it won't make you happy. You can keep denying God but do you have an explanation for life, a reason to exist, besides an obsession for belittling others? It is just tragic, you are breaking your head on an unbreakable Rock, fighting God is absolutely futile and you too will once die and know the truth. I pray for you, and I love you enough to tell you that you need Jesus Christ in your heart so you can be freed from all that anger and hostility. God bless you

Hey!!! I can hear you. How embarrassing!!! I don't feel hostile so if I am coming across that way you will have to point out exactly what you are talking about. I make no apologies for trying to expose the Watchtower corp. If you knew what I did so would you (I imagine...maybe). I have even stuck up for those goofballs a few times stating that calling them stupid was an attribution error and anyone could be taken in. Someone even commented they joined so they could be controlled. Again, no one deserves to be sucked into a into control group.
How about: I apologize in advance for the cheesy graphics(no I don't)

I have no problem with there being a God.
But that psychotic mass murderer in your book ain't it.

Love all of mankind, and harm nobody - if, given a choice.
