Hate is an emotion and all our emotions are triggered by something or someone. Why do you conclude that some hate without a trigger? That seems really...

Hate, like evil, has a good and an evil side and like Yin and Yang, compliment each other. They are not in opposition. If you look around, you will se...

?? Too loose for me. Tighten it up with a couple of examples please. Regards DL

In oligarchies, that is the way of things. Regards DL

Not if, like me, you try to live by the Golden Rule. I do accept that if done to me, I would likely have a higher degree of hate. Regards DL

If you walk in on your wife being raped, is it silly and foolish for you to hate the rapist? Regards DL
September 27, 2019 at 20:57
Absolutely and I proudly plead guilty as charged. If you think it moral to tolerate those who do not tolerate gays, women and other religions as equal...
September 27, 2019 at 20:25
Perhaps you just are not looking the right way. Love gives birth to hate. Where does hate come from if not born of love? Regards DL
September 27, 2019 at 20:14
Do you see anything wrong or inaccurate in the following. Sure, some of it is pure opinion, but I can back it up all you want. Both Christianity and I...
September 27, 2019 at 20:12
I did not say that evil was not evil. It is, obviously. I said that the evils in our evolution are required if we are to not go extinct. Compare the e...
September 27, 2019 at 20:09
I don't know who you are referring to with your "nutters" and "drunken mob". At present, in both the U.S. and England, I see all sides as nutters who ...
September 27, 2019 at 19:57
Most religions and lying preachers star from that point, I agree. Unknowable, unfathomable and works in mysterious ways is what I hear. Then the same ...
September 27, 2019 at 19:46
I do not see anything that self-refutes. I will speak to what you might be seeing a bit but you might have to point it out more clearly. God is not le...

Not to the Brexit crowd who voted to take the hit for the benefits of having control of their borders, immigration and governance unhampered by yet an...
September 26, 2019 at 12:13
Emotions are responses to stimuli. Usually intelligent responses, although they can produce irrational responses as well. We do need self control, but...

The vast majority in the West, where I live, are Christian and Muslim. What gender do you give to Yahweh and Allah? Regards DL
September 26, 2019 at 11:42
You are right that I have an agenda. Both Christianity and Islam, slave holding ideologies, have basically developed into intolerant, homophobic and m...
September 26, 2019 at 11:39
Evidence on any supernatural god is impossible to have, unless you have a way of accessing some supernatural realm. Do you have such a way? Show when ...
September 26, 2019 at 11:37
Reality has a way of being reality and yes, it has evidence. Do you have something against knowing the truth? We, --- have not established that. Our f...
September 26, 2019 at 11:33
I see theology and philosophy as basically the same as they both seek the best rules and laws to believe and live by. Having said that --- I see the w...
September 25, 2019 at 18:30
I do not have a POE problem. I think the little bit of evil we do to each other is overshadowed by our need to continue evolving. Let me give a slight...
September 25, 2019 at 18:17
Absolutely. I try hard to show Christians how to love and express their spirituality by showing them why they should not be homophobic and misogynous ...
September 25, 2019 at 18:05
You show a poor understanding. The Gnostic Christian ideology is superior to atheism, although they are doing better now that they have started openin...
September 25, 2019 at 17:39
Christianity has worked hard to take the feminine out of god right from the time they usurped the Jewish god and made him theirs, even though Yahweh w...
September 25, 2019 at 17:31
You do know that Christianity, primarily, kept women from voting for centuries. in the West, right? Why would you think Christians thought women equal...
September 25, 2019 at 17:22
Ditto as well as with like versus love. They do indeed by not liking the evil puppets. In duality, Yin does not exist without Yang. Regards DL
September 25, 2019 at 17:02
No. Hell no. Please do not insult me. Regards DL
September 25, 2019 at 16:25
I will get over it when the mainstream religions are no longer homophobic and misogynous and stop denying half of the worlds population equality. You ...
September 25, 2019 at 16:00
I have passed that stage thanks to my apotheosis. Spirituality is a two sided sword and mine swings both ways while yours only seems to have on cuttin...
September 25, 2019 at 15:56
Not to the church's lying preachers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF6I5VSZVqc Regards DL
September 25, 2019 at 15:45
You are more gentle with your criticism than I. I no longer mince words and use more of the language used in this quote. “The God of the Old Testament...
September 25, 2019 at 15:43
The whole of the bible is allegory. I read it as an esoteric ecumenist and see what happens in the bible as what sages want us to think is supposed to...
September 25, 2019 at 15:37
Sure, ones POV will change when one changes ones view of what god is. Christianity is Judaism 2.0 and Islam is Judaism 3.0. This is undeniable. I have...
September 25, 2019 at 13:39
I'm not sure just what facts you are referring to, but when I read of any love bias, I automatically read in a hate bias for all that would jeopardize...
September 25, 2019 at 13:32
Accurate. Regards DL
September 25, 2019 at 13:28
I do not recognize these as equivalent. Trump is in a vile class all of his own and if the poor want help, they are voting the wrong way. Brexit, FMPO...
September 25, 2019 at 13:27
The link I put up shows otherwise. Dualism exists in our emotions, like it or not. Regards DL
September 25, 2019 at 13:21
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LIb22-5Lwg I don't know if you saw this link above. As you can see, it is not unfounded psychobabble. Regards DL
September 25, 2019 at 13:16
I agree. I have been waiting to have all here view this link that shows that we create a hate bias from our love biases in an automatic way. Love crea...
September 24, 2019 at 21:54
This cannot happen till one learns to love himself. In that sense, I agree with you. Regards DL
September 24, 2019 at 21:40
I apply this to all human traits. Regards DL
September 24, 2019 at 21:38
Like this child is expressing? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/sep/23/greta-thunberg-speech-un-2019-address Adults should be more like he...
September 24, 2019 at 21:37
Yep. Recognize and justify should be how we deal with all our biases, good or evil. Regards DL
September 24, 2019 at 21:33
If you have been a victim of the standard mainstream homophobic and misogynous religions, then hate will mean more to you than just a minor irritant. ...
September 24, 2019 at 21:31
I do not like violence either but if hate comes at me to hurt me, I will embrace the hate that drives me to retaliate. Regards DL
September 24, 2019 at 21:29
As I showed above, I think the Yin and Yang of love and hate to be two sides that compliment each other. Yin and Yang are compliments to each other an...
September 24, 2019 at 21:26
Are you talking self hatred here and jealousy towards others that you think better than you? Regards DL
September 24, 2019 at 21:20
Then I do not think you have learned to love fully. I disagree, given that it is our instincts that have gotten us this far. Those concepts were aroun...
September 24, 2019 at 21:17
I am not sure on this as even god said he was a jealous god when speaking of his love for us. I admit that I have never been insecure in those I chose...
September 24, 2019 at 21:06
In our dualistic reality, it could not be otherwise. That is why we should embrace our evil side. Regards DL
