I want a yard sign to that effect. Hate is getting a bad rap! Some ideas and some people who espouse and, worse, propound them, richly deserve our hatred!!!!! There, I said it and I will never apologize. Come on: if you can’t summon up a healthy hatred for an enemy, you ain’t gonna win the fight. We NEED it! There’s nothing wrong with it! In fact, pace the Beatles, in many instances “Hate is ALL you need”.
Hate Has a Home Here!

Even God hates … Divorce, Amalek .. Liars… But do not sin in your anger. That’s where the line blurs and hatred rages. One must somehow ? Not kill people.

I think there’s no doubt Jesus did hate some people, like the money changers in the Temple. But whereas in the Old Testament God woulda just struck ‘em dead (Jahweh does a LOT of killing in the OT ) Jesus will pronounce eternal damnation when their lives end.

I disagree with you, here, Hypatia 🙂 Jesus has never hated anyone, and He never will. The Bible tells us that God wants all to be saved. Jesus often warns people that they are on their way to hell, but warning people of hell isn’t the same thing at all as wanting them to go there.
And yes, Jesus was extremely pissed at the money changers in the Temple, but being extremely pissed isn’t the same thing as hating someone. I wonder if our understanding of the word “hate” has put us in a world where if you look at someone the wrong way, you are guilty of hating them. Righteous anger is not hatred.

I think we might need a Biblical scholar here, which I am not 🙂 Jesus says that we are to love our enemies: He never said that we shouldn’t have enemies. His very commandment to love our enemies assumes that we all have them. Nowadays, if you even recognize an someone as an enemy, you will be accused of hatred, but Jesus obviously didn’t see it that way.
Killing an enemy is not always a sin, and it often is not done in hate. Unfortunately, there are times when killing the enemy is the only thing that can be done-if someone is threating your life, or the life of your family or country, what else are you supposed to do? We don’t just have a right to defend ourselves and our loved ones, we have an absolute duty to defend ourselves and our loved ones.
Killing a person or people who are trying to kill you is not hatred. Eliminating a mortal threat is not hatred. If, after having eliminated the threat, you find yourself fantasizing about the person burning in hell for all of eternity, that might be hatred and you might have a problem.
The closest I have gotten to this kind of situation is when my cousin Tara was one of the thousands of people murdered on 9/11. I am not sure how to describe how I feel about Islamic terrorists, but I don’t think it’s hatred, at least not as I understand hatred. I want them dead. I feel no guilt and have no qualms about wanting them dead, but what happens to them after that is way over my paygrade: their eternal fate is in God’s hands, not mine, and far be it from me to tell God what to do. As long as they die, I don’t care. In my better moments, I might even kind of pray for their salvation, but I still want them dead. I don’t fantasize about anyone burnign in hell for all of eternity: I might fantasize sometimes about certain people burning in purgatory for a little while, but not for all of eternity.
I don’t think that is hatred, and I will not apologize for wanting those who want to destroy us to die. Jesus told us to love our enemies. He never ever said that we were not allowed to have enemies.

Sustained hatred can cause biology to go wrong and hatred for no reason is a huge transgression. Jealousy is not a reason. Hitler lost his war because it was unjustified hatred. We should guard against negative emotions. Health depends on it. We are instructed to avoid wicked people , not even to eat with them. Hatred is not recommended because as it has been proved if we are suddenly guards in a prison, we have to fight the evil inclination to become a monster because one is surrounded by humans who have committed crimes. The environment is conducive to hatred both ways. Not good.

What I was specifically thinking of as a subject that came to my attention, about the transgender butchers. Arguably, if grown men wanna go swishing around in femface, mocking women, well…I can ignore that. But we as a society cannot afford to ignore, cannot afford not to HATE, the people responsible for irreparably mutilating children.
Actually I feel the same way about the 1619 crowd. They are stealing our nation’s well-being.

A decent society would publicly execute those who mutilate children. I just wouldn’t define that as hate. I would define it as justice.
To me, if someone finds themselves hating an innocent person, that is obviously wrong. Killing people who are guilty of heinous crimes is the right thing to do, but it’s justice, not hate.

And to those who would say that I am endangering the “trans” community: they are endangering themselves. Nobody cared what they did until they started messing with kids. I follow a couple of teenagers on twitter who are trying to detransition. The hatred they have to endure from the “trans” community must be seen to be believed. Too many “trans” activists have pulled off their masks and revealed themselves to be vile, murderous, wretched pedophiles, and they really are murderous. Just today, I saw a thread where some “trans” activists were wishing death to those who want to detransition.
Americans tried the live and let live thing with trans activists, but they won’t leave our kids alone. This will not end well for the “trans” community, and they can scream all they want about being oppressed: I don’t give an eff, and in the end, no one else will either.
This is not hatred. This is righteous anger. There is a difference.

I just came across this clip of Matt Walsh addressing “conservatives” who think he is being mean to the “trans community.” It goes on for over ten minutes, but he is brilliant, and I think he is basically saying what you are saying, Hypatia, but none of this is hate. So, basically, I totally agree with everything you are saying, Hypatia, I just think you are mistaken to call it hate.
