It’s a Religious Thing The morals of Christianity, are as controversial as religion itself. Those individuals who choose to participate in the practice of religion, are continually under fire because of their beliefs. The media are constantly giving religion a bad name.

HELLO!!! Thou shall not hate thy neighbor happens to be a ten commandment. But, those “Christians” who say they hate those who engage in marriage with the same sex or interracial human beings are supposed to be “holier than thou”, please giving me a freaking break. If you can stand up and say you hate someone for their decisions in life than you are no more a “Christian” than the person you so adamantly
