I'm just asking because I'm curious, I do not mean to be rude or anything, I'm just asking a question based on observation alright?
If God is love, and He created humans in His image, then Christians should be love and practice love too.
But why do I see from most Christian folks, all they do are just being hateful and spreading hatred? Isn't this already blasphemy....or something...?
Rarely I see good Christians who actually spreads love and harmony, like my friend Ness Tea.
It's up to you to prove me right or prove me wrong with my statement by answering.

Although I did expected better from you, you're trying to distract the point.

Stop trying to distract people, answer the question,
Why do you insist on being a hypocrite?

I would question your definition of love. The Bible's definition is clear.

It makes me sad to hear you say that you rarely see Christians spread love. I don't think most of the Christians I have known have been hateful. I don;t always agree with my fellow Christians, but the ones I've know in person have never been hateful.
Now if you are talking about some fanatic who says "God sends us hurricanes, because he hates gay people". I don't consider people like that to be Christians at all . I don't care if that is what they call themselves, to me they are not. God does not spread hate and narrow mindedness. The fruits of Gods spirit are different from that. Jesus said you will know a good tree by the good fruit it bears. It is no coincidence, that Paul wrote. "The fruit of the spirit is love. joy, peace, patience, faithfulness,goodness, kindness, gentleness, self control" Galatians 5:22
This is what a true Christian is. I wish you the fruits of God's spirit in your life.

People aren't God. Some Christians have strong faith and are very good people, but some aren't Those that aren't don't follow their faith very closely. Where are you looking for your "good Christians"? A good place to start would be in a Church. There are many, many, Christian outreach programs to aid people both in faith and in secular matters. Many hospitals were started by Christians and still have Christian names. There are a lot of Christian grade and high schools too. There are Christian health centers, soup kitchens, re-building programs such as in New Orleans, Christian "Goodwill" type stores. Some Church's, mine included give needy people gasoline vouchers, canned goods, Power company vouchers, etc. Look around. You'll find them..

Not all Americans are Christians...in fact, most aren't.
Celebrating Christmas and having an easter basket doesn't make you Christian either.
Pick a church, attend it for three months, observe those who believe.....then you will have to adjust your statements. Of course, a nonbeliever won't do that kind of research...it's much easier to make blanket assumptions.
The Christians I know do not spread hate.

Well , it's because you shouldn't base your statistics of Christians spreading love in this forum. Christians who do spread the love are out there spreading it and not bumming around like a lot of the ones here. :p (that includes me)
God is love because even if we stumble we still have favor in His eyes, even if we sin He forgives us. God is Love because He loves everyone, even the Muslims.
If a person spreads love then God is in her or him. It is with those kinds of people that you judge how God is.:)

All I know is that God is love, and He loves us so much that he gave His only begotten son. As for us we are natural men due to the fall of Adam and Eve, so that means that we are natural, and we need to work to be like God, we need to be able to love everyone, as he does. He is perfect love, we just need to work at it, your friend Ness tea, may be trying really hard to put off the natural man <- meaning natural person, which is far from what God is.

I have to disagree with your statement that 'most Christians are spreading hatred'.Sure,there are a few who do,but certainly not the majority as you claim.
And yes,love is very important.But neither will I approve of sin.

Jesus said
John 13:35 "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
It is unfortunate that more Christians do not live up to this high standard. This is a big part of why Christians and Christianity are mocked as much as they are these days.

It is never up to me to prove you right or wrong. It is up to you to choose whether you will walk in God's love or not. Its so simple..
You don't follow Christians. You follow Christ.
I Cr 13;8a
1Cr 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.
this may seem contradictory at first glance, but Paul desires you to follow him only so long as he follows Christ.

Blasphemy is to deny or make fun of the Holy Spirit.
And oh yea, I've seen e-mails from muslims that spread alot of hate and just down right nasty.

Why are people hateful? Because sin entered the world. Personally I have no obligation to prove you right or wrong, but our obligation is to speak the truth.
