What’s Christianity got to do with love? Don’t the Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, and atheists love? Should there be dollar signs atop churches instead of crosses?
Eric Peters The term “love” appears mover than 300 times in the Bible.

Connie Gadell-Newton Of course there has to be one Christian chauvinist to miss the point and shove a bible in your face. Even on the internet. thanks. Anyway, here is a fun link another friend shared: http://www.cracked.com/…/6-badass-old-timey…/…

Joseph W Nixon Did somebody claim live was exclusive to Christianity? I missed that. You could show love by wishing all well today: it is a good day for it.

Tyrone Jackson No. None of them know love directly; however, they all point to love. All legitimate religions are like sign posts pointing to the same place: God – which is love simultaneously expressed and experienced. Oddly enough, this “love” is no different from who or what you are. All of the great beings whom the religions idolize knew this truth experientially. They recognized the life flowing through all of creation as one and as love itself. The trouble that underlies what you speak about Tom, comes from the fact that more people stand around worshipping the sign posts instead of actually going to the place that the posts point to. This tendency to stand around the sign post seems equally true of all religions and spiritual movements.

Eric Peters Connie, please accept my cordial invitation to snack on this. “Chauvinist?” Go fuck yourself. What makes me a chauvinist? Daring to bring up some relevant facts to help assess the little libby libtwit claim that Christianity has no love to it, that …See More

Eric Peters It is nothing short of outrageous that liberals (among whom I count myself and most of whose principles I affirm while having unadulterated contempt for the teabagging cons-herd-atives) treat Muslims like anything but the violently anti-gay scum that they are.

Tim Chavez Connie Gadell-Newton I guess we need to go to Europe to enjoy the Christmas deities. I would love to attend the burning of the straw goat in Sweden where half the town tries to save the goat and the other half tries to burn it. Must be a great party.

Eric Peters My facts are 100% spot on. My reasoning is shaky. . . somewhere. It has to be. If not, then why is my emotional reaction to this issue so chronically and persistently. . . off? And why is it that NONE of my fellow leftists agree with me? I don’t know whether they’re seeing something I’m not.
Only one thing makes me angrier than reading/ hearing my fellow leftists (liberals to revolutionaries, lots of room on our end of the spectrum) represent for Islam. That’s my fellow gay liberals representing that way t or– just as bad, I think– refuse to engage or participate in politics.
OK. I have to log off. I’m meeting up w/ some friends from church to go caroling at 12 noon for some folks in state confinement (I’m really going to say, “State psychiatric hospital” at this point?). I’ll check back in tonight.

Tyrone Jackson wow… all this from a question about “love”. I said this in private before, but it bears repeating. Tom, ‘love” is one of the most abused, ambiguous words in the English language. Next would probably be “God”. Define this “Love” that is highlighted in your campaigns and questions… then maybe we can talk about it. If you are looking for a definition, I would advise that you first identify who loves and who is being loved. Have a Happy Christmas everyone
