No hate = no passion.
And perhaps that's the problem, as unintentional as it was in the article. Call it my intuition. When I hear that a certain demographic doesn't hate, I am reminded of a bad zombie movie. Something inhuman. The Jews didn't hate(or respond) quickly enough, nor did the nations that they found themselves in. Look what it got them. Hatred can save you. Hatred is the nerve ending that causes you to react to a stimulus.

Of course, hatred does more than just spur one into action, it often spurs one into incorrect action, misplacing blame and persecuting innocent persons. Maybe a better choice would be THINKING. Can you do that, Wyatt?

Like how your leg just randomly kicks when your knee gets whacked? How about Kneejerks for Jesus?
Didn't someone once say that the first step towards defeating your enemy is to get them sufficiently angry that their judgement is clouded? And you can't usually have hatred without anger following behind at some point...
Reminds me of a computer game I once played, Mission Critical, in which at one point the human player contacts an artificial intelligence that has long since surpassed humanity, and subsequently ended up in a war against humans who were terrified that being out-evolved would lead to their eventual destruction (the AIs had almost won, but humanity took an irreversible step that would eventually destroy both sides, rather than surrender). When the player asks, "After all my race has done to you, you still don't hate me for what I am?", the AIs simply reply "We don't hate."
@nico
look what hate did to Vader, he was the far superior force user to Kenobi, and yet Kenobi managed to slice of his legs and his remaining natural arm. Why? cause his hatred made him irrational.
You should add a smiley to that or else someone might suspect that you're using an Argumentum ad Star Wars as an actual counter-point to Wyatts silly post.
So he is actually saying that Christianity is, and should be, a religion of hate?
Well, at least that would nullify the claims of false advertising.

don't start using it yet, it's been a while since latin class, but i think my translation might be wrong "Bella Sideris" is better translated as "wars of the star". If the "Star" in "Star wars" is an adjective, then the appropriate transalation is "bella siderea" but that might mean "Starry wars". subtlties are lost in . sorry for the mistake translation

Bella Sidaris? Is that a Latin translation of Star Wars? If that's so, I also must find ways to use it...
You could also use Bella Astris.
Hmm, am I the only person who noticed that the google ad has a link to 'gay singles' despite the lack of any mention of homosexuality?

No, that would be the League of Nations that didn't do jack.
Hatred is not a prerequisite to doing something about a problem, idiot.
Yes, my young apprentice, feel the hatred in you grow! Soon you will be master of the dark side, and my slave!
What was that Andrew Lloyd Webber musical again?

Chorus:

Who are you? What have you sacrificed?

Do you think you're what they say you are?

I would personally say "False Christain Award" for this since the guy forgot that Jesus preached the opposite of hate. But, hey, since when has that simple fact stopped people at Free Conservatives?
Weeeell, there was the bit about Jeebus himself saying that he wasn't bringing peace but a sword, or how you should hate your family...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
