I wanted to question mass hate, while yes our personal hate is probably little different.
NNS I too, often, even here, regrete my anger, despise? rare but not used lightly, no current politician here or in America, but some past ones, even in my team.
Hate, blind unthinking hate,like that person retained by the FBI this morning, see his van?
It warned, unfocused person inside, a danger existed.
Hate divides America, is it worth it? can a country so divided ever be good?
I am a dreamer, will forever believe we can and should live together, not use tools like hate to win office, but in the end destroy what we wanted to control Hate is never an answer

" I think it is a better idea to find out how the other person wants to be treated rather than merely treat them the way you like to be treated."
Isn't finding out what you need the way you would like to be treated?
Cafes and restaurants work that way with menus I hate chili.

Subject too hard, well hate is a failure on our part but never the less it exists often blindly

"I see no necessity to continue to deal with the horrors of Christianity and Islam,"

The difference is that the horrors perpetrated by Christians are contrary to the teachings of their founder, the horrors perpetrated by Muslims are in accord with the teachings of their founder

Dear Is Mise,

Christianity and Islam are defined by how Christians and Muslims behave - not by the intentions of their founders. From my reading of history both Christianity and Islam have behaved horribly. The founder of Christianity was Paul. Jesus lived and died a Jew - not a Christian. 80% of the Bible was written by non-Christians. Christians have rejected the religion of Jesus and formed a new religion which was not the religion of Jesus. Both religions are superstitious entities as are most religions.

Dear David, we are discussing "Hate" as a Subject, not Religious Institutions. I just thought I'd remind you of that, just incase you didn't get the message.

Things like this Miff me a little.
