John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you,
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

"Hideous" is a very appropriate word.

These guys never learned that OT stories do not mean "what they went through you must go through too or else".

"God will not allow you to be attached to your wife/children"??? Prove it!

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to die to save us. What is that......some kind of "detached love" or something? Man these guys make me mad.
