Does God Hate Gays?

Does God hate gays? Is the word 'hate' in God's dictionary? The term 'God' has a different meaning to many, but for all the people I know, God represents love, acceptance, peace and warmth. How could anyone who loves you, who created you, who protects you and embraces your every quirk, imperfection, and idiocy, with love and a gentle hand, hate anyone?

God loves all people, for what we are and who we are. We are all here for one reason or another, and to be so arrogant to sit and judge another, to actually claim that one is better, deserving or higher than another is actually proving themselves to be less like God and more like his adversary.

You don't have to be religious to be tolerant, to be accepting, to be loving. People should treat people as they wish to be treated; and I don't know many who say that they don't want to be treated with respect, dignity and love.

God doesn't hate gays, God doesn't hate anybody. People, humans, mankind created and spreads hate and when we are at the receiving end of that hate, God is the one who is there to erase it away.
