What is a "hate question"? When we question the beliefs of others are we being hateful or, by trying to get others to reevaluate their positions, are we being loving?
When I tell a homosexual that he is going to hell if he doesn't repent, I am not being hateful. If I didn't care, I'd say nothing, If I hated him i'd call him some defamitory name. Yes, we must love our neighbour and our enemies, but this doesnot have close fellowship with them.

These are some phrases non-Christians consider "hate questions and answers"............
1) You will go to hell.
2) I'll pray for you.
3) You must repent.
4) It's a choice.
5) I don't condone the behavior.
6) Love the sinner, hate the sin.
7) It's an abomination
8) Jesus said................
Regardless of intent, the above phrases are full of hatred, bigotry and fear.
Each phrase is a judgment, and that is the ONLY intent.
Other than maybe a few more phrases, I think this should pretty much fix the problem.

This is not hate, this is honesty:
Christians have many pious people that build the stereotype they all live under. If Christians want to unite and spread their philosophy, they must re-think the pious attitude that the rest of the world sees as a very strong negative.
I am a Buddhist. I have Buddhist items in my cube. I have never been verbally accosted by another Buddhist. I have been verbally accosted by many Neo-Christians that walk up unprovoked, and say, “You are going to burn in Hell”. This has happend while I was sitting at my computer listen to my headphones, speaking to nobody. If Christians are so pious they are willing to risk loosing their job, by rudely verbally accosting a non-Christian co-worker, I can only imagine how they treat each other.
Being the mature one, I usually fend them off by making it clear that I know their rule book (the bible) better than they do. On the one occasion I got sent to ‘sensitivity training’. I can only assume that Christians regularly get each other sent to ‘sensitivity training’.

Grace unto you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
You're saying we should agree on Don't-eronomy dung "Christ" abolished from his flesh, and abolished this enmity because another law, of such law law, produces evil concupiscence.
"Christ" is the end of the law, thereby Saviour of the world.
Perhaps you're not a Christ-ian, but rather a Jesus-ian who would have more divison and not peace, via more law law. Perhaps you don't see the difference between Jesus & Christ.
Jesus: division and not peace
Christ: peace and not division
Pst - mark & avoid them which cause division
Jesus: made under the law
Christ: the end of the law
Pst - ye are not under the law, but under grace
Eternal salvation is "THROUGH Jesus->Christ",
which end focuses on "Christ" (not on Jesus).
To wit: that God was in "Christ" reconciling the world
The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

If they did it whould be to kill the non christians. id rather they not agree than to go after me and my kind.
btw christians will never agree because they have it in thier head that thier sect of christianity is right and everyone else is wrong. christianity started in bloodshed and it will end the same way.

Great idea, Rose. Yes, we all should agree to promote love and not hatred like the terrorists do in the name of jihad. Let us conquer with love, as love is the answer for all this worlds problems. God is love. Therefore, let all of us embrace love and live a loving life.

I agree and I believe that I try to do that. I think as human beings we should be able to treat each other with a modicum of respect.

It's been my experience that Christians can't agree on anything.

Yes, I strongly agree with you.
God is love, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
We should seek to follow His example!
