I have seen these super right-wing Christians on TV holding up signs saying A.I.D.S. kills fags. It isn't just that westborow baptist church either. These are usually the same people who say Christians don't hate anyone. Please explain to me how this is not hate???????

I can't! Anyone can use God to rationalize their hatred for another human being (which is really sickening), in opposition to the teaching of their religion.

I agree with the basis of what you have to say... but tone down the volume a bit, will you? It's just a tad offensive to a homosexual to be called a "fag." Even if you're just quoting, use quotation marks. Otherwise it's just like saying, "No offense to fags, but I saw on TV where...." See my point?
Anyway, yes, this is exactly the type of attitude that brings many of us here. I really don't see how a God of love would be too impressed by this sort of display.
[Edit] It's curious how the word "fags" isn't censored... but the singular version is.

I'm a Christian, yes, that's hate. Sadly, I have to accept that there are many Christian fanatics that wear blinders 100% of the time to the point of forgetting that Jesus taught us to accept everybody. I've met some of those and I dont get their false sense of Christianity.

Firstly; how do YOU know for SURE that these people are Christian? They may think they are but may be people practicing "religion" - masking as Christianity. Secondly; A.I.D. s kills anyone eventually, who has it - it is not impartial to just "fags" ( as you label them). I, personally, think that YOU are attempting to instigate "hate" between homosexuals and Christians ... am I not correct ??? I think that you are in reality a "troll" !!! Why don't you spend your time going out and making this world a better place to live in ?

You are correct, if that actually happened, it is very hateful. Hate and judgement are not what Jesus teaches. These people are setting a very poor example for their fellow Christians.

Hello,
I agree with you. Anyway that slogan is not even orginal, it comes from a popular commercial from 60's TV that says RAID KILLS BUGS DEAD! (Ive been around a while).

Right...I love the Southern Baptist church signs with gleeful phrases like "Dine with Jesus or Grill with Satan"...just in the last few minutes on this list, I've seen SO many people who can't wait to pass judgement on this or that person going to hell.
