[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] *GRINS* *tweety-bird voice* He don't know me vewwy well, DO he? Oh, pish tosh. I've had worse than that. How about a five-on-one fistfight? I've got a nice scar on my hand from where I punched one right in the teeth. And a couple of markes where they got me. I had people, FAMILY, even, tell me I was going to hell, my gf who'd died was going to hell because she wasn't Christian, et cetera ad nauseum. I've got relatives who won't speak to me or visit my family because of what I've said about certain parts of their religion. Now, I don't like many of these people. And I have, as my posts have shown, some serious disagreements with Judeo-Christian mythology and practices. However, I also know that people must be judged as INDIVIDUALS, not groups. My maternal grandmother was a Methodist-type Christian, and was one of the kindest, most non-judgemental people I ever met. And I was her favorite grandchild. And I still miss her. It's alright to hate individual people, once you've gotten to know them or experience their behavior. It's another thing entirely to hate groups of people you've never really met. In fact, that makes you into EXACTLY what you hate, if you do that. So hate that minister. Hate 'im GOOD. Put a bumper sticker on his car that says "Cops SUCK" or "Free Mumia." But don't hate people you don't know. It's a waste of your energy. [/QB][/QUOTE]
