Sorry Belly!

Your response to Trump says it all about lefties & hate.

runner,

No runner - it's people who have strong opinions on
things they know nothing about - and make vile judgements
that spreads hatred.

Hasbeen,

It's good to learn that you don't hate - especially
the ABC and others you don't agree with.
Maturity as they say - is realizing how many things
don't require your opinion.
Onja.

The Bible is not a good source if one is looking for a document that goes against hate. It postulates a vengeful erratic God who destroys almost all life on earth because he is bothered by the actions of some humans. He condemns his own son to an agonising death. Considering religious wars, Inquisition etc. It would seem to me one step toward eliminating hate would be to treat the Bible as we treat the Greek and other myths - a source of fable, pleasant and unpleasant, but not anything to live by. The record of the missionary religions, Christianity and Islam, do not qualify them as a force against hate. They both have the illusion that if everybody believed what they believed it would be a better world. I think it would be a better world if everyone could believe what they liked but could not do what they liked if it hurt others.

There is no point in hating paedophiles. We could try to find out what causes people to become a paedophile and eliminate the causes. If we cannot do that we can identify them and prevent them from doing the damage they do.

Kant had a recipe against hate. "People should never be seen as a means to an end; they are the end. Morality can be grounded in reason. It does not have to be connected with any form of supernatural mumbojumbo

Foxy it is like homosexuality, left attitudes & climate change believers.

I am not prepared to put enough effort into understanding the attitudes of any of the above.

If I am not prepared to put in enough effort to understand them, I certainly have no right to hate them

Hasbeen,

Fair enough.

People only understand from their level of
perception.

The only thing Hate is good for is tying yourself into knots. It has no effect on the person or thing you hate.

Hasbeen: You only have to look at the lefties or the greenies at a protest to see the hate they exude. This is why protests are such a lefty thing.

Exactly.
