Does Faith = Hate?

[Raven]

Most people who ‘seem’ religious, but are filled with hate, are that way not DUE TO their faith, but rather they use their faith to justify their already hateful/bigoted/judgmental attitudes. Much of the Bible for example presents a lot of judgment of others, but it’s worded in such a way to ‘’appear’’ loving. ‘’Correcting’’ people is sometimes misconstrued as loving, in the Bible. So, if you chastise people for being gay, for example, and you are Christian, this is seen as acceptable because the Bible will have a person believing that part of being a ‘loving Christian,’ is to scold and chastise others into obedience. Faith breeds ignorance, if anything. lol

You make a couple of excellent points. But what about someone who was "brought up" in some given faith their whole life, and pretty much everybody around them shares said faith. There's a lot of that about. They might indeed BE very religious, not seem it, and they've been taught to hate, even if they don't see it as such. But yes, such a situation would very much be breeding ignorance.

DT said:Faith doesn't = hate. Faith just makes it a lot easier to hate others.
Yes, you are right. It isn't F = H, it's just something that facilitates it amongst those given to it.
