Re: Are You an Atheist?
It's times like these that I'm reminded of that one kid in class who had to have everything explained to him. For example, they told him to write something on the blackboard, and he objected that the board was dark green (we had a dark green blackboard), which used chalk. We explained that "blackboard" was the term we used to describe our green board. I suppose in the same way, when someone says "I hated them", specifically in ANE language, it means their practices were detested. We see in Ruth, the Moabitess, that the people themselves were not hated.
Of course, I will tolerate you since from the picture you have on your profile, you seem to have those eyeglasses rather loosely; perhaps they weren't on when you were reading the Bible half the time.
