Other than christers frequently use religion to spew hatred against gays?
Capital C in Christer.

I don't hate homosexuals, nor am I afraid of them.
I don't hate adulterers, but I think it's wrong.

Actually it's very much on topic, lots of people fight to link hate with disagreement because the word hate carries a lot of negative connotations with it and they desire to link people who don't support them with those negatives. They want to demonize anyone who doesn't agree or support their cause, it's quite obvious and losing it's effectiveness because people are waking up to it.

You clearly have a problem with Christians and probably don't agree with their beliefs or agenda, do you then openly hate Christians?

Christians are taught not to hate anyone, just 'wrong acts'.
Many people throw around that word, hate, all the time, they
must know more about it. I hate no one.

Depends on the day of the week and how hard they're trying to push their religious beliefs on me.
Do I dislike all of them no, the christers among them, absolutely.
Hate, I don't give them that much energy.
They believe in fairy tales and I try to treat them like other mentally challenged people.
They need to keep their hallucinations and beliefs to themselves.

Funny how you take all of this personally; even the posts specifically directed at others.
Why, at any time, should I know anything about your religion?
What are you (generic) trying to prove to others by your beliefs? That you're special?

Is it really too much for some people to understand the one can disagree with a lifestyle, think it is wrong yet not hate them? Or even dislike them

Could it be because they themselves hate all things they don't understand or don't agree with? It is an interesting observation.
I guess they can't conceive it, beyond their grasp?

And certainly all the hate directed at Christians by some is really disturbing.

So it is in fact possible to dislike a group of people but not hate them? A simple yes or no would be great...

You brought me up when you said Christer.
It might make you a better person.
I don't need to prove anything, just clarification.
Why yes, I am special, so are you.

No, right on topic. The fact you can't make the connection proves it.
