"...one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change..."
The saddest bit is that these fundamentalists who use violent language and scream in your face about how your actions are leading you to Hell (where you deserve to be, naturally, suffersuffersuffer), think that their God is wonderful. Is kind. Is a benevolent being. I attribute the reason that they don't recognize the disconnect between happy, loving God and their hateful, spiteful behavior is because they only think their God is loving because His rules allow them to be hateful, spiteful people. I'd think my God was awesome (if I had one), too, if he said everything I feel like doing--even when those actions fill me with something like shame--was okey-dokey.
