Hate? is telling the truth hate? Religion is an idea. Like any other idea it should be subjected to scrutiny and criticism. Unfortunately in our culture criticizing religion is considered wrong. I did not even criticize any religion in particular but criticized a specific idea, an idea contradicted by scientific evidence. Religion should not be untouchable when its teaching contradict science. No Hate mongering or vitriol here. Implying that the doctrine of special creation is flat wrong is not hate mongering, it is simply telling the truth.
