"God loves you, but he hates what you do, who you are, and how you live."

I've never been able to figure out just HOW these people know what God thinks. I'm not by any means a Bible scholar, or for that matter, a Bible student, but from what I understand from the folks I know who are, God never had anything to say about it, nor did Jesus. Leviticus, yes, but these same people all had the same attitude towards him, and that was that he was a flaming asshole. These folks that call themselves "Christians" need to get their noses out of Leviticus and into Matthew for a change. And just for the hell of it, they might try reading The Constitution.
