So, I was really surprised when I first so this headline. I had to read it several times before it dawned on me OHHHHHH...then I saw "Hate Religious Group Focus on the Family." then I was like "WHAT!!??" Focus on the Family a Hate Group? Are you kidding me?
But, yes apparently the individual who wrote this article stated that "Focus on the Family is an evangelical non-profit and the things that come along with that – hating gay people, evolution, abortion" I had to read that sentence several times too! I was absolutely flabbergasted! Why would anyone even suggest that Focus on the Family was a Hate Group!!
Okay, yes they do NOT support Gay Marriage and they do NOT support Abortion...but they don't HATE Gays and women who have abortions!!! This not Westboro Baptist Friends!!!
Okay, I'm angry. Did this person who wrote this article even bother to go onto FOTF website and READ there statement of FAITH?
Why? Why? Why? Why, do people think that all Christians hate homosexuals and Pro-Choice advocates?
You want to know why? I'll tell you! It is because of "churches" like Westboro Baptist (which by the way IS NOT supported by the Baptist Coalition) Who spread their doctrine of hate and infest there nasty beliefs onto the loving Christians of true New Testament Churches!
Friends...JESUS DOESN'T HATE!!!! Why would you believe that? Why? Are you reading the same Bible I am? I see it say things like "Love your Neighbor" "Turn the Other Cheek" "Do Unto Others as You would want done unto you"
"Love is Patient, Love is Kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails"
(I Corinthians 13)
Does that sound like Hate to YOU?
Get a grip people! Really...pull yourselves together, research before making such outlandish claims on HATE GROUPS.
The definition of a Hate Group is: organized group or movement that advocates and practices hatred, hostility, or violence towards members of a race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or other designated sector of society. According to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) a hate groups have a "primary purpose is to promote animosity, hostility, and malice against persons belonging to a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin which differs from that of the members of the organization
Does that even sound REMOTELY like Focus on the Family? No, it does not, because it is not.
Please just stop now. Stop the persecution of Christian business men and Christian Entrepreneurs who are too "Trendy, Hip and Chill" to be "Christians"
I hate to break it to you friends, but I can give you a LIST of HIP Christians, in fact I'm just going to do that!

Do you want me to keep going? Because I can.
Are these people affiliated with Hate Groups?
Stop being sheep people! Just stop.
My challenge to you!
Buy TOMS. I think I am going to. I know they are expensive. But if anything go onto the website
http://www.toms.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=CLLng5y0-KkCFQUHbAodSX0AMw
Then "Like" if you have Facebook. FLOOD the Internet with support for this young man, because HE IS A CHRISTIAN! The poor guy was pressured to make a public apology because he went to a Focus on the Family Event. So, tell him you support him, that he did the right thing, to not loose his faith, to keep to his morals, to continue on, to be the Christian that JESUS wants us to be!
God Bless you all...

I have been ordering Tom's shoes for my kids for years now. They are the only shoes my 13 year old daughter will wear. For every pair bought, TOMS donates a pair to children in need. I find that compared to the price of other footwear, TOMS is very reasonably priced.
