Evangelical is a very broad term. Do you hate all Evangelicals or only those that ignore basic Christian morality? Do you hate Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton?

Do you hate me? You don't know me. You don't know anything about me. You don't know that I've never voted for a Republican in my life. You don't know that I read the Gospels as teaching that my concern should be for the poor, the immigrant, etc. - all my neighbors that I am commanded to love as myself.

How can you hate me?
