Dan:
Oh I see. God hates sinners (prostitutes, tax collectors, Samaritans, you know, those people he ate with and came to save) so that means you have to hate them too. Because you've been born from above now, you have the keys to the kingdom and look down from heaven as one of the elect and judge everyone else as damned in the full meaning of the word, as you've so graciously defined. Perhaps I will amend my first comment: "Damned Foolishness" versus "Damned Fools" because this foolishness belongs in Hell, yes, that other real place. I can very well use "damn" in the colloquial, tv-watching sense and make my point perfectly clearly. I also have a host of other four letter words that spruce up my English as well and know perfectly well what each of them mean in various contexts. Perhaps this can just give you more reason to condemn me as one who has not been elected. It absolves you of having to be concerned with anyone since you are just hating those whom God hates.
