I saw a comment earlier regarding Ron Brown's beliefs as "hate". This word seems to be thrown around all the time. So what is the difference between hate and simple disagreement?
Is it hate if I do not agree with:
- a homosexual lifestyle?
- an adulterous lifestyle?
- drinking alcohol to get drunk?
- taking drugs to alter the mind?
- having sexual relations with kids?
- marrying more than one person at a time?
- having sexual relations before marriage?
- misrepresenting the truth to get ahead?
- watching pornography?
- on and on and on....
People have opinions on every one of these items. Why are some opinions considered "hate" while others are just opinions?
I'm sure this will turn into a locked thread, but would be interested in any thoughts.
