If we are all collectively God's creations then to hate one another is to hate oneself...

Hate the behaviors... Not the man...

That's it, Bobert. In a nutshell. Jesus' teachings were not lost on you, ol' pal!

People commit harmful, even terrible acts out of fear and ignorance (and a variety of misplaced assumptions which = ignorance). That is why Jesus said, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do."

What about disliking, disrespecting, and then deciding to avoid the person for the rest of my life.   They were morons, cretins and all around heinous individuals for ever thinking up and then carrying out the behavior in question.

(But they don't belong at Guantanamo.)

For example the robomatic post about Wellstone was the first time I could agree with anything I have seen him write.

Meanwhile- some great contributions were found here in general
