Hate

Hate. It's just a word. A collection of four letters. Just like 'Love'. I wish that the followers of the christian god would focus on love. After all "he's" a loving and compassionate god. At least, that's what I've been told by a lot of christian people.

I guess I wouldn't have that big of a problem with religious people if they used their energy on, like it says in the "good book", loving their neighbours. Seems like that passage, along with a lot of other things in the bible, has passed them by. Most of them put all of their energy on hating people that doesn't fit into their picture of the perfect world. And there's a lot of people that doesn't fit. Let's say that there are appr. 2 billions christians in the world. That means that the rest of us (close to 5 billion) will burn in hell. Of course, if you ask the muslim population, they probably say that all christian people will burn in eternal damnation. Guess there'll be one hell of a BBQ, when the rapture comes upon us. It don't even matter if you spend your whole life being good to people. As long as you don't have the true faith, you still burn in hell.

That being said, I find it kind of hard to understand why they put the energy on hating, if we still are going to hell when we die. Isn't that the final punishment? And speaking of hell; what kind of sick and twisted deity (who, we must remember, is a loving and compassionate one) creates a place like that?

I just had a crazy thought. Could it be that man created god in his own picture, instead of the other way around? That would explain why the christian god has all the bad characteristics of the human race.
