What is wrong with extreme dislike?
What is hate?
... but I would say that it is often confused for an emphatic rejection thereof.
Depends on the situation. I hate onions. There's nothing morally wrong with that.
You're such a racist, what did onions ever do to you?
What is interesting is this statement: "If it's harmless, it's not wrong."
If you define hate as intense dislike, why would it be wrong? :shrug:
I find it hard to believe very many would not have dislike for someone.
.
Would that be like when I puke out food that has onions in it?
It's ok to hate evil, but only evil. Asking someone to understand it is too much.
Where was that statement?
What is interesting is this statement: "If it's harmless, it's not wrong."
Even dislikable hatred, if harmless, should not be deemed wrong or:shock: penalized.

Except maybe that.
It's ok to hate evil, but only evil. Asking someone to understand it is too much.
Hatred is not just an intense dislike. There is an implied ignorance. That ignorance is only permissable in the case of evil.
Look, that's it, folks. There's nothing else to say here.
Why are feelings wrong?
But...
...is it wrong to feel murderous?
