Nonsense. I have high regard for many (most) Christians.
Strange how 'hate' comes so easily to your mind. You do understand the difference between disagreeing and hating, right?

I don't hate anybody. (On or off this site).

Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeYou have no problem with societies that kill people for being homosexual?
Again, you conflate disagreement with hate.

Of course. What does that have to do with the price of fish?
Originally posted by @eladarYou equate 'not hating' with apathy? How quaint.
Just wondering how far your apathy extends.
What does John say on this matter?
'Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.'

I believe that homosexuality leads to death and is evil.
This guy doesn't.
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea,
seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look,
a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies,
and he that soweth discord among brethren.
(Proverbs 6:16-19 KJV)
Note:
Lying is listed twice.
Mischief is listed twice
Nothing on sexual immorality

Originally posted by @eladarI don't see anything "evil" in homosexuality in and of itself. Homosexuals are just as capable of doing "evil" things as heterosexuals are. I don't see it as having anything to do with their sexual orientation. I would however say that, if your political orientation and/or superstitions, meant you participated in some way (voting, for example) in the judicial murder/execution of homosexuals for being homosexuals - as you have professed support for in public - then that would, to my way of thinking - make you "evil".

If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
Originally posted by @eladarEven if you think it is "evil" in the eyes of a supernatural being and you also believe homosexuals will be punished after they die by this being, then that is one thing - and a matter for your faith and conscience - but any active support you would give to their judicial murder/execution (for their sexual orientation) would, I think, be "evil" on your part, and something altogether different from you merely holding certain sincere opinions about other people's sexual orientation.
Of course you see nothing evil about homosexuality, you reject God's truth.
