      And this is why everyone ignores you people and your over-dramatic use of terms like ‘hate group’

      Terms like ‘hate group’ ‘fascist’ ‘Nazi’ are not hyperbolic terms, they are very specific terms with very specific meanings. They are not to be used the way you’re using them.

      I understand that liberals feel like definitions of words should be ‘fluid’ and depending on ‘how you feel’ the word should mean when you use it, but that’s just not how communication works.

      You don’t know what a hate group even is, obviously.

      You can call anything a hate group if you want, but if it’s not an actual hate group, it just makes you look like you don’t know what you’re talking about

        I don’t remember calling anything a “hate group,” but good job ignoring absolutely everything I did say.

            I guess I did then. Now, are you going to address the fact that Christians have been hatefully harassing me my entire life just because I’m not one of them? Or is that too inconvenient for you?

              What you’re describing sounds like you’re being super sensitive to the concept of Hell, and eternal damnation

              The concept of Hell is not hate directed at you, that’s just your brain not being able to handle nuance, abstract thought, the idea of faith or to be introspective enough to take up the mantle of trying to live as best as you can.

              Do you find the threat of prison for committing crimes as hate?

              The concept of sin revolves around the idea that it is impossible to live without sin, for all of us. You’re not at all special.

              This is the kind of self centered “me, me, me” mentality that pulls people to the left, I think. If you think the idea of heaven and hell is ‘hateful’ towards you specifically, then you’re just not grown up enough yet to be a fully functioning adult.

              As far as being Jewish and taking personal offense to the death Jesus …. Well, Jesus was a Jew. Jews don’t believe Jesus was the messiah. That’s fine, Christian’s don’t hate Jews. They share a book of the Bible

                The concept of Hell is not hate directed at you

                Weird, because “you’re going to burn in hell, Jew-boy,” a frequent phrase from my youth, sure sounded directed at me.

                I guess that’s just part of my self-centered “me, me, me” mentality.

                As far as being Jewish and taking personal offense to the death Jesus

                They took offense because they claimed I killed Jesus.

                Christian’s don’t hate Jews.

                  That’s an issue with an individual, the entire of Christianity is not calling you a Jew-boy or wishing for you to burn in hell.

                  Extrapolating that to an entire group of people is the self importance I’m talking about

                  Liberals call me all kinds of names, and wish all kinds of violence on me. I’ve been called a ‘biological terrorist’ from mods on reddit for thinking abortion should have some common sense restrictions.

                  Does that mean liberals are a hate group? That would be kind of stupid to say, don’t you think? From my anecdotal perspective and going by your thought process, I guess you’d need to agree with me that being liberal means you’re a part of a hate group.

                  Can you understand why the way you use these words is wrong? And makes these important words meaningless?

                    No, it’s an issue with dozens of Christians I have encountered my entire life. Why don’t you stop guessing about what I’ve experienced?

                  Do you really want to start throwing around dueling Wikipedia articles? Why can’t you just use your own words?

                    I didn’t think you’d read it. Just like you didn’t read the one about Martin Luther, the founder of protestantism, and his antisemitic text that was picked up by the Nazis and used as a Christian justification of the Holocaust (and the German Christians ate that shit up too).
