Anyone who says that God hates any particular person is full of sh*t (including that old dumbass who carries the sign around that says "God hates fags"). Some religions are indeed cults. I don't believe that Christianity fits the profile of a cult (though conservative Christians will say that Catholicism is a cult).

And for the record, my closest friend is Christian, and I was baptized Episcopalian.

After so many posts, i figured atleast one person would have got it right.
Uh, no.
The fish symbol has been used to illustrate how Jesus calls Christians to be "Fishers of men". His last words before He ascended to Heaven were to make disciples of all the nations, and bring the good message to all people.
And to anyone that thinks Darwin came before Jesus might want to attend history class. Darwinism wasnt invented til the 1800s.

and the fish has nothing to do with the miracles of feeding 5000 people with a few fish. it's because Jesus was a "fisher of men".
