To: AnAmericanMother
I'm not particularly obsessed (hey, my mom is a professional dancer - I would be obsessing all day long about the people I meet in her orbit.)

Alright – I’ll take your word for it – but only because you mother is a dancer(g).

Rather than worrying about "hatred" (and if you think real hatred has been expressed on this thread, you have led a sheltered life), I think it would be more productive to ask yourself why, suddenly, so many people calling themselves Christians have swerved into something that was so clearly and uncompromisingly declared to be sinful by ALL Christians until very, very recently.

I am talking about hatred not rage or violence. Once you’re in that emotion it’s real and it’s real on this thread.

If these are any way near accurate they answer your question:

>>>…"Americans by and large consider themselves to be Christian, but when you try to drill down to figure out what they believe, you find that among those who call themselves Christian, 59 percent don't believe in Satan, 42 percent believe Jesus sinned during his time on Earth, and only 11 percent believe the Bible is the source of absolute moral truth," said Mr. Barna, a conservative evangelical who regards these as troubling indicators…<<<

ny times

My question remains unanswered – why are so many here obsessed and so hateful? I have my theories. A certain part of the fundamentalist community are really in a retreat to the past modality right now. I suspect that is a part of it. But I think there is more to it than that.

I would suggest that they stop calling themselves Christians if that is what they believe. Especially that part about Jesus sinning! Where the heck do people come up with this stuff? Have they gone mad?

It was answered many times over but you don't want to acknowledge the truth you've been told.
No one is obsessed or hateful. Only your thoughts to that effect remain obsessed and hateful.
