Text from Ps. 139: 21 (NLT).

You're quoting a paraphrase of Ps139 right?
In a strange sort of way I love this bit... not because I agree with it but because it illustrates the fact that the Bible has every emotion in there suggesting that as long as you're being real there are no wrong prayers because you don't have to have perfect theology to express yourself to God.

Of course not.
God is too big and too powerful to be bothered by the way human beings feel about God.
God is completely impersonal like an adult parent to a two year old child.
No matter what the child says or does; the parent still loves the child. That is how God loves us, and overlooks our faults.

Jesus said to "Love your neighbor". He also told us that GOD had a specific tim e for Judgment and only HE knew that time. We are not to judge others. IF possible, we are to be HIS representatives on earth. The disciples were told to go out and teach others, baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT. The Great Commission is still in effect. Hatred does you and them no good whatsoever. Keep Christ in Mind when you see such actions. Have a great week.

hating someone who hates you is just perpetuating the system. being the better man/woman, is to try and understand why someone would waste their time on "hate", which expends a lot of energy. Just like it takes fewer muscles to smile, then frown, it takes much less effort to not hate.
unless you want to live in a world that is full of hate. only you can change your world. if you prefer hate, then hate. if you prefer love, then love. do not concern yourself with what others do, you can not control them. you can only control yourself. people learn by example,
would you prefer your children grow up in a world of love or hate... it takes much less effort not to hate then to actively participate in hate. yet it makes a world of difference. we can change our lives, and even contribute to the future simply by breaking the cycle in ourselves. as all bad things are learned and passed down, they can be unlearned. eventually making the world a better place.

Your Lord is not sitting at a computer reading Yahoo Answers.
Your attempt at making a point is extremely immature as well as pointless

I thought good Christians were supposed to not judge and love everyone. That isn't always the case now is it? You're the perfect example.

That's Old Testament. David was showing contempt for the sinners and idol worshippers, but if you read the whole context, you will find that David, when he gets angry like this, always turns it back to God for God to handle.
That shows us that God understands when we get angry. He said "be angry but do not sin." In other words, you can show anger, but put your anger in God's hands to handle.

Maybe god can deal with his own issues.
Your thinking is the SAME EXACT mode of thought that causes religious terrorists to blow up buildings and kill people.
