Robin,

That's an easy proposition. Declare yourself right and condemn everyone else's opinion as a "false gospel." Never mind that Paul was addressing a completely different issue at the time.

As far as "hatred" goes, my characterization is spot on and you would have no moral right to say otherwise. To give you an example, if a black person were to view something you said as racist, you could not tell that person that what you said is not racist if you're not black. It may not seem racist to you, but it was to him, and he has the greater moral authority to make that distinction. The same with anti-semitism, or sexism, etc.

I'm Catholic. I have known much hatred and bigotry because of my faith. And I call it hatred and bigotry with greater authority than your insistance that it's not. A KKK member will never admit to being hateful and will claim that what others call hatred, they call love, and they simply hate what's happening to society. But even as love is a universal language understood by all, so is hatred. This is why most Protestants, even with their disagreements, cannot stomach anti-catholicism. They are naturally inclined toward the love of God and will not allow their souls to be poisoned by hatred no matter how it disguises itself.

Liberalism -- Ideas so good, they have to be mandated.
