If I say that a man and a woman having premarital sex is a sin, does that mean I hate them? If I say that watching pornography is a sin, does that mean I hate people that watch pornography? If I say that two men having sex is a sin, does that mean I hate them?
Where does the word "hate" even come into this debate?

i think what created the firestorm in some peoples minds was his linking homosexuality to bestiality, etc and it 'morphs out from there'. as tho it's some sort of gateway sin to other things.
my discussion about hate, religion, etc, is part of a broader discussion. i'm sorry that you think i was only discussing phil. i was thinking of westboro, who i mentioned above, tony perkins, my mother in law, etc.
are you sure '
nobody claims' that it's ok to hate based on religion? that's not been my experience, based on what i've seen, read, heard.
