For the Bible tells me to hate; therefore, I hate.

I have received a great deal of hate for my publishing of the blog "Cowboy Democracy" in which I basically compare the Neo-Conservative party to Communists. It's funny how people are thinking that I have changed and how I have basically lost the "nice" part of me. This is the real part of me: free (officially in the next three weeks) from the restraints of my school and all that it stands for. And for the first time, I am actually starting to learn things that I never really learned in school: To love people regardless of where they come from; to defend people that are being hurt; and to start living for the now and not the a couple moments from the now.
This past weekend I seen the movie "For the Bible Tells Me So." If you haven't seen the movie, I strongly advise you to do so. It is basically a movie warning overly literal and hating Christians to show more compassion for my community. It's funny how some Christians believe that if they make one more poster saying "God Hates Fags" and if they bash a "fag," that we will stop sucking dick or eating pussy and go back into our "natural way" of fucking/loving/living.
Back in the days, after Christ left us to deal with these haters. The early Christians were being persecuted and murdered mercilessly. One emperor had their bodies waxed and used as candles to warn people to not fuck with him. He intended to have Christians stop being open about their beliefs and stop spreading the Gospel. In reality, this supposed problem only grew bigger and bigger. Where one was killed, more would spring up.
In today's world, Christians don't seem to learn from their own history that hatred not only makes the persecuted more angry, but it increases it's followers. I am not saying where one fag dies, there are more that are created--it's a bit more complicated than that--but people realize that this needs to stop and we in turn receive more supporters.
Where in the Bible does it say: The Bible tells me to hate; therefore I hate? Mark 12:31 Says to "...'Love your neighbor as yourself.'There is no commandment greater than these." Leviticus 19:18 says to "'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.'" How ironic that in Leviticus it says this right after the chapter where people use the "man lying with another man" verse that people use as an excuse to fuel their hate.
You think I am angry. Hell yeah I am angry! I am sick, annoyed, and tired of hatred taking place in midst of a community that I am tied with. It's hatred that almost got me expelled. It's hatred that almost had me kill myself. It's hatred that made me stay away from the church. I am angry for several reasons (if you can't read between the lines), but the one that makes me the most angry is that Christians are supposed to love one another.
That is the greatest commandment. Yet how quickly do Christians jump from the love to the hate gun and start firing at anyone that is not one of them. The Beatles once said that Happiness is a Warm Gun, why don't we fire that instead? Stop the hate, because it does not give people to run to the church, but to run to find tools to burn it down.
