Christians are so obnoxious with their passive-aggressive bullshit about claiming to love everyone. They use the concepts of humbleness modesty to elevate themselves above who they see as unsaved sinners, like their pity is a gift. If pride is a deadly sin, not a single Christian I know is going to heaven.

they didn't advocate homophobia.

Homophobia means negative feelings, intentions, prejudices towards homosexuals.

Christians believe in an immortal soul and are trying to save homos. This is literally the highest possible love in Christianity.

Actually not giving a fuck what happens to homosexuals would be homophobia under Christianity.

A stalker kidnapping his victim can be seen as love to certain kinds of people. Love is not inherently good, the fact that Christians only support a specific kind of heterosexual love shows they don't really believe in this either.

>Stop being such an emotional child and make a reasoned position.

Not in the New American Bible, it doesn't.
>At that time Jesus was going through a field of grain on the sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, "See, your disciples are doing what is unlawful to do on the sabbath." Hr said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry, how he went into the house of God and ate the bread of offering, which neither he nor his companions but only the priests could lawfully eat? Or have you not read in the law that on Tue sabbath the priests serving in the temple violate the sabbath and are innocent? I say to you, something greater than the temple is here. If you knew what this meant, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned these innocent men. For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
Seems pretty clear to me: work on the Sabbath if you must, and don't condemn those who must work on the sabbath just because the law says you should.

I'm not even christian retard. I can insult you all I want.

Levit is old testament, if you have a problem with it go advocate for jews to be considered homophobes, Christians are off the hook form old test.

A stalker might consider himself morally right or acting with love, but a stalker is a single person and not the largest group of people who believe one ideology.

The original question was about "political correctness", and so the argument follows that Christians in the majority cant be politically incorrect, while one random fuckjob can.

I agree that I was over-generalizing them, but the whole "Christianity isn't a religion, man, it's like, a personal relationship with Jesus" is a relatively new, special snowflake protestant invention. The Christians who say it never want their churches to lose tax exempt religious status.

This is line between the ritual law and divine law. The bible, and really all religious texts, are full of requirements (such as building a fence around your balconies) that couldn't be construed as being part divine law (but are still more or less good ideas).
