Neil over at 4simpsons has a great post today about "haters". Be sure to check it out here.

If you've never been called a hater, maybe you've been riding the fence too long or need some assertiveness classes. When you stand for something strongly and boldly enough, sooner or later, someone is going to call you a hater.

"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them." II Timothy 3:12-14
