You should only hate sin. Im trying to deal with hatred of my own family. Im sorry I was born into this perverted drunken pigs of a so called family. I exxed them out from my life and I feel so much better, like a burden has been lifted from my shoulders. I only have four members of my family on my mothers side. The rest are dead to me and shall remain dead forever.
 
Hate only hurts you, unless you act on it, then it can hurt others.

But ultimately it's coming from you and you only. Blaming others for feeling hateful is not taking responsibility.

Temporal...several of us have explicitly made your points above, but some reason...it just doesn't soak in.
 
The results of this poll are so far very disturbing with people more than 3 to 1 believing that hate is or can be justified.

It tells me that there a many fewer Christians on this Forum than I had thought, and many less than claim to be.

Jesus teaches us to hate the sin not the sinner and having been betrayed in a very long time relationship and then having nearly every penny I once had stolen through identity theft, I have reason to hate, but what good would it do me?

Answer none and if I set out for revenge where would that take me?

Sometimes we have to rise about our first emotional response and think about what is the right thing to do.

We are not just a Nation of laws and it is built on principles and values, then there is being the Christian so many claim to be.

Even if you are not a religious person you cannot argue against the Golden Rule that we find in at least 21 Religions that I am aware of.
Do Unto Others As you Would Have Others Do Unto You.
Besides Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.
 
Hate is an incredible waste of energy. That, and it's toxic. Hate is ugly, and nothing I wish to entertain *even if I had time to do so.*

It is not a waste if channeled and burned properly, instead of bottled internally.

A concept cannot be toxic, BDBoop.

Hate is not exclusively ugly. Do you hate your flaws? Do you hate murderers and rapists? Do you hate your father?

Not all hate is ugly.

I agree to a certain extent.

Hate is not just a concept. Hate is also an emotion. Emotions can be toxic.

Not all hate is ugly.
It's ugly because it shows a lack of understanding and create even more negativity than there already is.
 
Why would it be wrong to hate evil?

A response I was waiting to see.

That aside, many say evil is subjective. Love, hate, wrong, and everything to them is subjective. They create their own objectivity based on their feelings and internal whims.
 
Hate is not exclusively ugly.

Yes it is.

Do you hate your flaws?

I understand my flaws; hate is based in ignorance.

Do you hate murderers and rapists?

No. I hate murder and rape.

Do you hate your father?

What the hell is this?

Not all hate is ugly.

Yes it is.



They create their own objectivity

"Their own objectivity" is called "subjectivity". Even a moral relativist does not claim objectivity can be created. What kind of nonsense is this.

Yes. All hate is ugly, and no. I don't hate. Not hating is as much a part of me as having blue/green eyes and being left-handed. My closest sister has trouble understanding why I forgive so easily and give second chances so often. Personally, I consider it a blessing. I have seen the damage that hating does from a first-hand perspective.

Where does that extent end, theplaydrive?

Emotions are subjective. Perceptions are various. One can say hate is like a purifying flame; one that burns away internal flaws. "Good" "hate".

And your understanding is absolute, theplaydrive?
 
"Emotions are subjective"
Just because you experience them individually does not make them subject to your interpretation. My sadness feels good! Sadness is good! It's subjective!


"Good" "hate".




I'm out.

No, it is not, ecofarm. Show me how all hate is wrong. Is it wrong to hate rape? No? Then what options and reasons do you have left for punishing rapists?

Are you engaging in ugly behavior by hating rape? Do not get caught in your words.

All hate is not ugly.

You don't hate whatsoever? How grand that must be. That is as credible as one who says he never lies, or brags, or gets angry.

You have hated. You probably hate something today. You will hate in the future.

That was Wake, trying to help me reach his conclusion.

We all do that.

You don't?
 
Why would it be wrong to hate evil?

Hating evil or sin is a good thing, and I may have taken the question wrong because so many people who post here are always accusing others hating other people or being hateful Racists.

I hope I have made it clear in my posts that it's okay to hate sin but not the sinners.

This thread is stupid. I'm out.

C'est la vie.

It ends at the point where the destruction hate does to the individual overpowers its positive utility.

Emotions are subjective. Perceptions are various. One can say hate is like a purifying flame; one that burns away internal flaws. "Good" "hate".
None of this changes the fact that hate is an emotion and emotions can be toxic. I'm just correcting your assertion that hate can't be toxic since it's a concept.

And your understanding is absolute, theplaydrive?
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you deny that hate creates negativity and that hatred is based in ignorance?

Yet BDBoop states all hate is ugly and, I think, she implies all hate is wrong.

Perhaps you would challenge her claim?

It does not always overpower its positive utility, theplaydrive.

Emotions cannot be toxic. Toxic implies poison. What is the poison? Can I objectively view it?

Hate does not create negativity. Negativity reacts to hate, as mosquitos to a zapper. Ignorance implies one neither knows nor understands. One can know and understand... and hate.
 
Hate IS the poison, just like fear. This might help.

We do not like subjectivity. You do not like subjectivity.

I do not care for the subjectivity of the mouth in your link.

I can say anger is poison. I can say all love is good. I can say homosexuality is poison. There are many subjective things people say.

I never said that it did, Wake.

Look up the definition of figurative and apply it.

Hate does not create negativity. Negativity reacts to hate, as mosquitos to a zapper. Ignorance implies one neither knows nor understands.
So when terrorists hate the united states, their hate does not create negativity? When person X hates person Y, their hate based treatment of person Y doesn't create negativity?

One can know and understand... and hate.
I disagree. One can know and understand and hate only if one rejects that knowledge and understanding. If you accept what you know and understand, you don't hate. For example, I hate a sociopathic murderer when I reject the knowledge that he doesn't make decisions like me. I don't hate him when I accept that knowledge.
