No they don’t care about that one any more, the OEM knew they want to replace at a later date

It seems hatred is a vice that has much in common with alcoholism. You start off hating for what you think are perfectly good reasons, but sooner or later you find yourself hating just to hate. I've had a difficult few conversations with people about our new achbishop, who happens to be a lesbian. I think this is something to be celebrated, but a lot of my brothers in christ don't see it the same way

They don’t read the word? I’m not a Christian, but even I know it’s judge not, and love thy brother as thyself.

They do, but people quite often seem to have this wilful blindness when it comes to their personal beliefs and conduct. They've assimilated the idea that it's bad to hate, but they reason: I'm not bad, so my behaviour can't be motivated by hate. This seems to me to be the principle mechanism of hypocrisy in the world today. They also often reason "You can't pick and choose, if the bible says X about Y, then you have to obey". The problem with that is that I think you have to pick and choose. The bible is large and contains multitudes. Conversely, I've noticed that a lot of christians are more keen on the verses prohibiting homosexuality than they are on- say- the parts prohibiting lending money at interest. Were it not necessary to pick and choose, if those parts of the old testament had delivered what the almighty requires of us, the son wouldn't have needed to assume human form and come down to earth. There needs to be a certain degree of nuance and above all application to one's personal conduct.
