"Well, that is your hateful opinion..."

Perhaps you are having trouble distinguishing between being opinionated as to someone's hypocrisy and hating them. Do you realize there is a difference? If you disagree please explain how you repetitively conclude that I hate them?

"...based in abject ignorance"

What pray tell is the basis for you being able to conclude I have no knowledge of these types. I am actually quite of student of them, I'd even say an aficionado.

If you respond again please think and do so logically so that I have some reasonable basis to engage in discourse with you further.

No trouble at all. In my book, mocking someone is synonymous with disliking them. Calling them "hypocrites," while presenting no evidence, is cheap and tawdry.

Do you actually KNOW any of them? Have you actually sat down and talked with any of them? Answer "No," and you admit your ignorance. Just because someone preaches from a pulpit, and you see them for 1/2 a second as you channel surf past them, does not make you any sort of expert on them or their motives, much less about whether or not they are living up to the tenents of their faith.

You confuse your personal distaste for Christian preachers with thoughtful, cogent analysis. They are Christian, therefore they are "hypocrites," right?

I am not the one having difficulty with logic.
