Last Corinthians 31

"Hate is impatient and cruel, hate is envious and boastful, it is arrogant and rude.  It insists on its own way.  It is both irritable and resentful; it rejoices in wrongdoing, and scoffs at the truth.  Hate gives up easily, believes nothing, hopes nothing, endures through nothing.

"Hate ends everything."

In life there are these two: hate and love.  You either love God or hate God.  You love your neighbor, spouse, child, parent, employee, boss, and friends or you despise them.  You cannot be neutral.

There is not middle ground.

There is no fence to ride.

Hate is not something that bigots do.  It is not something that fascists do.  Hate is something that husbands do, something that fathers, wives, mothers, sons, daughters, friends, and relatives do.  It is something that I do.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your mind.  You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  Anything less is hate.
