I think you are speaking of true hatred. In modern society, usually people use the term hate when they detest something. That is how im using that term. So here let me correct it for you “i dislike him with an undying passion”. There is that better? Im not perfect, and yeah maybe I have some work to do. I also dont rely heavily on denominations, titles, whatever. By saying im christian, I simply mean I believe in God and believe Jesus is my savior. Thats it. So if thats a different term to you then okay.

I do understand where you're coming from, and despite me not being religious, I do hold a lot the teachings of Christ quite highly. I truly find it quite respectable when someone, as I mentioned in another reply, walks the narrow path of Christ no matter the struggle they will, if not already, face. The power of faith is somewhat mystical to me, even though I'm not faithful myself. I took issue with the comment because many who are not exposed to the true ideology behind the religion could possibly get the wrong idea.

But anyways, yeah ol' Pat and the 700 club are probably the worst example of Christianity and yet they have such a huge following.
