"Hate is not a Christian value" colorbar
I've created a colorbar for people who are sick and tired of the hateful statements made by Christian extremists. It's one thing to disagree; it's quite another to judge and condemn those who question you. How do you think Jesus feels about this hypocrisy?

To clarify: I'm not talking about respectful disagreement. On the contrary--I enjoy listening to others' reasoning. What bothers me is hostility and an unwillingness to listen.

If you agree, please copy and paste this code into your user info.


           
Hate is not a Christian value.


<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="50%"><tr><td bgcolor="#ffff00" width="16.67%">&nbsp;</td><td bgcolor="#008000" width="16.67%">&nbsp;</td><td bgcolor="#0000ff" width="16.67%">&nbsp;</td><td bgcolor="#ffff00" width="16.67%">&nbsp;</td><td bgcolor="#008000" width="16.67%">&nbsp;</td><td bgcolor="#0000ff" width="16.67%">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td align="center" colspan="6"><a href="http://hourlily.livejournal.com/17872.html">Hate is not a Christian value.</a></td></tr></table>


Note to US folks: The yellow, green, and blue were originally meant to represent the Libertarian, Green, and Democratic parties. Even though I changed the slogan to something politics-neutral, I kept the colors because I liked them. If you're a Republican, please don't see this as a slam. I don't mean it that way.

(ETA) Coded edited slightly. The last box was getting squished.

gotta be careful, though, that people don't get the wrong idea and think it's saying that christians are BETTER than someone else because "unlike them, we don't hate" or something... *adds to info*

I don't think they will. Sadly, a lot people associate Christians with hate and hypocrisy.

Thank you thank you thank you!! I'm so tired of people slamming Christians because of a few morons who are incredibly hateful. It is not what we as Christians were commanded to do!! Love is the number one commandment!!! ♥
Kristi: love
