“For seventeen hundred years the Christian sect has done nothing but harm.” (Voltaire)

"I have often wondered, that persons who make a boast of professing the Christian religion, namely, love, joy, peace, temperance, and charity to all men, should quarrel with such rancorous animosity, and display daily towards one another such bitter hatred, that this, rather than the virtues they claim, is the readiest criterion of their faith."

-Baruch Spinoza

Take on a project so difficult that you grow into the person who is able to do it.

You're welcome.

I personally think that it's because hatred and animosity are what is taught in many religious environments, but (ironically) the virtues named in these self-same environments are love, peace, charity etc. Sometimes, such cognitive dissonance may stem from an individual's "unreadiness." But it's fair to point out contradictions in the message too.

That's a terrible idea.
