Okay, I'm going to call BS on this. I didn't hear anybody "hate" anything, and for you to tar multiple, unspecified individuals with the term "hater" is inflammatory bigotry, at best.

no offense but i don't care about your beliefs




I tell my children that if you have to start a sentence with that disclaimer, you obviously KNOW it is going to offend someone and you ought not say it. If you don't care about other people's beliefs, why ask a question on a public message board?

Maybe I'm just jealous of your superior intellect or golden ears. Your assertion was the most condescending thing I've read in a long time. Grow up.

Entirely disrespectful and uncalled for.

Hogwash. You're not sorry and you are a troll.
