Dan Barker, a former evangelical "preacher," said when talking about why him and his Freedom from Religion Foundation (which he co-founded) is so hateful toward Christians.
Barker responded by saying the "Christian message is the hate message."
This centered around a sign that the group erected next to a Nativity scene at the Legislative Building in Olympia, Washington, which had been removed by unknown people. You can see the sign in the photo.
You can see the last words where it says, "Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."
Concerning the nativity scene, Barker added, "On that Nativity scene, there is this threat of internal violence if we don't submit to that master. Hate speech goes both ways. If there can be a Nativity scene saying that we are all going to hell if we don't bow down to Jesus, we should be at the table to share our views."
In other words, if we present the gospel of Jesus Christ, it is hate speech in the view of this sad, little person.
While most of the readers of Acts 29 Review don't care too much about symbolism or types and shadows any longer, it is telling to see the hatred of those who deny the person of Jesus Christ and the allegiance they owe Him.
Call the message of Jesus Christ what they like, everyone, including so-called atheists, will face the Lord sooner or later. If that's hate in their twisted minds, it won't matter, they still have to obey and respond to the gospel if they want to exist outside the eternal lake of fire.
People with this type of hate and denial of the Lord, in reality hate themselves, and want to try to drown out the person of Christ as the center of a universe they don't want to think about.
For those atheists with this mindset, you're going to have to deal with Jesus Christ. Better now than later.

Caution: It does have some language.
