No Room for Hate

I just read a short article at usatoday.com about a scientist that has tried to account for a miracle of Jesus through natural occurances. His discovery is that instead of walking on water, as it appeared, there was actually a small patch of ice formed by "a rare combination of water and atmospheric conditions in the Sea of Galilee 2000 years ago." Now, I absolutely disagree. I don't think there needs to be any natural explanation for a miracle of Jesus. But, that isn't really what interested me most about this article. Listen to this line spoken by the scientist: "I get hate e-mail on the average every three minutes," Nof said. One e-mail called him "the most stupid person on the planet" and closed by wishing that he "go to hell where you belong." Hmmm. This is really sad. But, isn't it typical? When "Christians" get threatened or challenged so often they resort to hatred and attack. The very ones that should be immersed in and overflowing with Jesus' love, grace, mercy...are embittered with hate. Christians lashing out in the name of God isn't Godly at all.
