The Sin of Ignorance.
I have been called many things. I have been called a devil worshipper. I have been called a damned soul. I have been called a fool, an idiot, and a bastard. I would be bothered, but as it would seem there is simply no point.
These people have been raised to believe these things. They honestly think I am damned for what I believe. It doesn't anger me, but instead, it saddens me. It's pitiful, that what may otherwise be kind people have had such foul thoughts drilled into their heads from day one. I hold no ill will to them, but only to the world in which they were born.

I admire you so much for not hating, or even being angered, at those who have done you wrong. That is so so so so so wise of you; you give atheists a good name. :)
I'm a Christian, and it doesn't seem to me like the people who call you a dam.ned soul and a devil worshipper are following the same Jesus that I am. There's no love in that.
Sorry for what you've had to go through, but I'm delighted about your attitude.
