The Epitomy of Hate.

This showcases one of my biggest complaints with Christians (and I consider myself one).  It is a reason why I don’t go to church because it seems like everywhere you go, you run into people who are more concerned about your sin than theirs.  (the whole “My Way News” article is here) Emphasis mine…
