The Bible as hate speech?

In the middle of all the hoopla over the Supreme Court rulings on gay marriage, there was one striking tweet:

Courageous. RT @toddstarnes: Won't be long before they outlaw the Bible as hate speech.
— @johnbrougher

The Bible? As hate speech? No way.

Right?

It’s not as though the Bible advocates the murder of gays and lesbians, or the murder of all ethnic groups who make the mistake of straying into the Holy Land, or hatred against Egyptians, Romans, Samaritans, Babylonians and Canaanites, or asserts that God approves of ethnic cleansing, genocide, slavery, and rape as an instrument of war, or the subjugation of women to the will of their husbands, or the murder of children.

Oh, wait….
