Just want to clarify that hatred and bigotry of others, who in no way are out to harm you BTW, is legit under certain circumstances. I mean I thought it being called the "GOLDEN" rule kind of meant it pretty much superceeded everything else, but I'm glad to know that you and Ann are so versed in Christanity to know the loopholes that exist for gays and others.

Look, she was just pushing back, a little. Exhibit 'A', you, calling us 'hateful' and 'bigots' because we aren't really down with the 'mantrain' (Google images- but it's on you, don't blame me). I don't hate anybody and I wish no harm to anyone. But, I reserve my right to call 'absolutely messed up' absolutely messed up. Ann Coulter doesn't just go around calling people f*** and neither do I.
Ok, there was the single incident. WTF. Does your Bible say anything about mercy? I can't find 'golden rule' in my Bible but I did find this:
Quote:
28And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
