Does god hate gays?

What the subject says!

God clearly hates bigots. The most important christian outlooks are written almost in highlights. Love thy neighbour. Do unto others as you would have done to yourself. The ten commandments. Judge not lest ye be judged. All of these messages suggest we have no rights to judge anyone else and no matter who or what the next person to us is, we have a responsibility to treat them as people. Let god decide what is right and wrong. Just know this.

A consensual gay couple does not harm anyone, and they cannot help what they are. So why discriminate based on a few passages of the bible? Some people live by the bibles every word. I tend to live by my heart and am comfotred by the fact that the most important messages in the bible correspond with this.

We are supposedly built in G-d's image- so can't be true. Just a load of bigots' interpretation, IMO.

I dont' know if the bible said anything about bigots, but didn't it say.

Leviticus 18:22-23 - Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

Genesis 13:13 - But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

Genesis 18:20 - And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

And it says a lot more than this.

I'm not that well versed on the bible- but I find that those who live by the letter of the law, tend to be stuck in pre-historic times.
I mean- we're not chopping bits off people for commiting petty crimes anymore- we've moved on. Our interpretations are more modern and suited to this century.
What kind of g-d would hate any section of society?

I thougth god was all knowing, so would know who deserves hate. Unless you think you know better than god.

Nope- can't say I do! That was just my take on it.
