Just what exactly are you defining as "Hate" here on FreeRepublic?

Wishing ill on people for consensual acts that have in no way harm others. Constantly referring to all homosexuals in the most crude and derogatory terms possible. Rejoicing at the prospect of them burning in hell for eternity. That sort of thing. I'm not saying it's the norm, but it's here.

I'm neither a Christian nor an expert on scripture, so I'll just say you are entitled to your religious views. Only you know in your heart if you hate homosexuals or not. If not then you have no reason to be offended. But you might want to consider that homosexuality as practiced in Biblical times was not between consenting adults. Historically it was almost always something inflicted by those in power over the powerless (children and slaves). If you recall, in the story of Sodom the crowd wanted to rape two strangers (God's angels). You can take that for what it's worth.

What a terrible thing to write:

“Wishing ill on people for consensual acts that have in no way harm others.”

I wondered who in the world would even think that their acts in no way harm others.

Then I read where you are not a Christian, so that answers that.

Orgies for the worship of Ashtoreth were consensual and bisexual in nature.
