The Pope is a real human being who understands the true meaning of Christian love. Those who hate are fake christians who worship hate disguised as piety, which is the exact definition of what deception, and the Great Deceiver, mean.....There you go, my one religious rant of the year.
You nothing about Jesus. You present a feigned love to consume it on your own lusts.
So, if you eat shellfish or pork, and if you don't support selling your wife and daughter, or the right to sacrifice your son, then you're also a heretic? Check your holy book. Check your sanity.
Check your sanity; you people are on a one way ticket to burning lava. What's happening in Hawaii is prelude of your future habitation -- hell and the lake of fire.
A loving god, if IT exists would love all people, believers, non believers, pedophiles, whatever. Only an inferior god would hate. If folks choose to worship a vengeful god, that god is no better than those it dominates. Hate is wrong, even for a god.
Its not hate for a god though.
If we start down that road, why not ask why this same god permit so many kids to be tortured and killed, why did he permit hitler to do the things he did, and so on and so on.
God is above all of this, his view is much different than any of ours, he makes life and he has the the right to take it away.
Matthew 13
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one ;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

This is what I believe. As a Conservative and Catholic and amateur philosopher, I believe that God (if he exists and I think yes), must love his entire creation and that would include those that are gay as well as non believers...after all, it's what He created.

I'm with you on this as well as a conservative and Catholic.
Matthew 13
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

You can quote scripture until you're blue in the face. It doesn't change the fact that God never wrote scripture. Some else did when they decided to put words in God's mouth by quoting him decades after Jesus walked the earth.

Then you don't believe Jesus because the Scriptures declare Him as the One.

Such as? And that would be evidence, not beliefs.
