hate the sin, love the sinner

[Jesster]

In your opinion, what does it mean to hate a person? Does it mean to believe that they deserve to be tortured forever? Or does it mean it mean they find your attitude so disrespectful toward their humanity that they cannot have an amicable relationship with you?

Neither,  I find that love (much like morality) is more about attitude, than any action. Hate would be the opposite of love.   I don't believe that one fighting in war, need to hate the enemy, even though they are trying to kill them.   Nor do I think that a judge must hate the one they are sentencing.  While we may normally remove a judge with a close relationship to the one being tried for various reasons.   If a judge was to give a harsh sentence to his child because he is honorable, and it is what is just. I wouldn't conclude, that he doesn't love his child.   Neither do I wish ill upon those who I find it difficult to have an amicable relationship.

If the judge made up an arbitrary rule "because he said so" and sent that child to the torture dungeon, I'd certainly say he was an immoral tyrant who did not love that child. Anyone who dedicated their lives to that judge would also be guilty of not loving that child.
