Well, if disagreeing means "hate", then you "hate" too for disagreeing. Why do you hate Christians?
I see that. You'd rather follow a Hollywood TV show.
Because there's no proof of the garbage written in the bibble.
You hate homosexuals and use your religion as the reason. But not all of your bibble, only the handpicked parts that support your hatred.
I don't follow either.
I don't live in the US so I don't watch US TV.
I have read the bibble, many times.
12 years of catholic school will do that to you.
The ceremonial laws were superseded by Christ. Most of those things (abstaining from seafood, not touching the skin of a pig, etc.) are ceremonial laws, as opposed to moral laws, which bind always and forever. The sin of Sodom or homosexuality definitely falls into the latter category, as it is repeated elsewhere a number of times, including in the New Testament.

How does a Bible "to the T" following Christian discern between ceremonial and moral law?
For example, keeping your women quiet in church, or not working on the Sabbath?
I agree with a previous poster. These "laws", were written in conveniently by kings and rulers to gain control of a society hungry for a leader, no matter how wacky the laws were. I only know that the hypocrisies of the OT are palpable so I personally choose not to follow or preach a book of hypocritical rules that discriminate.
I cannot profess to know the truth and enormity about God/creator of all things because I am a mere human being. Science? A Deity? A combination of both? I'm not going to even pretend to know so in the meantime I'll just live and let live.

No one is asking you to believe anything, but that does not mean you can't respect people who feel differently that you, but apparently all you have to offer is baseless accusations. It is ironic you are accusing me of hatred when you are the one acting it out.

You have an awful lot to say about something you admit you know nothing about.
IF it was wrong in the Old Testament, but right in the New Testament, does that mean God can just change his mind? Sure it does. He's changed his mind before. http://www.gotquestions.org/God-change-mind.html
The Scriptures that are interpreted as God seeming to change His mind are human attempts to explain the actions of God. God was going to do something, but instead did something else. To us, that sounds like a change. But to God, who is omniscient and sovereign, it is not a change. God always knew what He was going to do. God does what He needs to do to cause humanity to fulfill His perfect plan.
So yeah, if you repent, then it's not a mind change. If God does it, it's just part of his plan. A plan to do one thing, reconsider, and do another. Because he's God and knows everything. Like he made the Devil to tempt us into Sin. Because, hey, why not.
Here's a question. Did God create evil? Ephesians 3:9 and Revelation 4:11 also tell us that God has created all things.

Yes, you see God in His Glorious perfection, created flawed humans. Then when all of us flawed humans do bad things, he punishes us. Unless we repent and tell Him that we are sorry and we need Him to "cure" us from the flaws he made us with to stroke his ginormous ego. Makes perfect sense, right?
This logic is precisely why so many people are falling all over each other to get into fundamental dogmatic religion these days. NOT.

Like BJ's. Those aren't allowed either. If you ever had one, you are going to Hell.
God has repented. Be like God. Realize you made a mistake.
It's retarded to hate one thing while embracing the other....
Seafood, eeeewwwww!
