Answered Why Yes I do hate Christians
I don't hate Christian but I do not associate with them. Religious people are delusional. Literally, here is the Webster defintion:
Delusion (n)
a: something that is falsely or delusively believed or propagated b: a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary ; also : the abnormal state marked by such beliefs -

Answered None of the above
I'm aware that it is only a "belief" as I can't disprove God (in the same way that I can't disprove unicorns and the flying spaghetti monster), but I think that believing in God makes less sense than not doing so.
I respect some Christians beliefs.
But not all...like the ones that believe they have to scare children into believing with visions of Hell and the ones that believe that the world is only 12,000 years old or whatever.
I don't respect those beliefs so much...
The problem is that in a country like America (that I don't live in, but would like to if it were not for what I'm about to talk about) the majority is Christian. This causes all sorts of problems when this majority lets their beliefs (which are wholly unverifiable) impact upon politics and civil rights.
Homosexuality is a good example...many Christians say they don't mind homosexuals, but their beliefs won't allow them to be married. This stops equality and is unfair on a) Christian homosexuals who don't believe it is a sin and b) non Christian homosexual who want to be unified in the most widely recognised sense which is marriage.
These people (and it's happened throughout history) are basically discriminated against because of the words of a dus...

So it's not just as simple as "live and let live" when the majority control the country even though they're not supposed to.
