Is it ever right to HATE PEOPLE simply because they dont share your beliefs?

I'm sad whenever I hear of people hating one another. There are a lot of horrible things going on in the world, and many of them are done from plain old ignorance. I think if we could raise the level of education among people, a lot of this cruelty would disappear.  How can anyone actually hate another human being?  You have to feel sorry for someone who is full of hate.

To some point of your question, I agree. I don't like others attemping to force thier beliefs on me. But, just listen anyway.They mean well, but do not realize what they are doing. But from a standpoint of their beliefs, they are doing what they think is right. Just grin and bear it.

I doubted mine, and I came up with my own answer. I don't get angry at anyone who disagrees with me because that is their right. \n\nWhat I never agreed with was that Deity, by whatever name, would have revealed him or herself only to a small group of people on this vast planet, damning all those who hadn't heard or accepted him or her to eternal punishment.\n\nI believe that Deity is revealed to all. I believe that there isn't one recipe to some "salvation", and that we all come around more than once. \n\nWhatever we believe, I don't think that anyone has the right to belittle others for their beliefs. Disagreement is fine; harrassing and demonizing isn't.

no, its wrong to judge people if they dont think like you do though. put your foot down in a nice way. tell them that you respect their religion but its just not for you.

Should they be banned from having and/or expressing their opinions because they disagrees with yours?

Not all people think it's OK anyway.\nBut if you're against a certain group, you will feel that it's OK to be a racist against them and you will defend the other groups that you're not against.

With this ever changin and growing world our freedoms are being greatly compromised for the good of the many. Yes this is free speach and I believe people should have the right to do so, if I wanted to insult someone I believe I have the right to do so, even if it is very distasteful. \nIt should be my choice to decide what I say and how I say it, and people should be sensible enough to respect each others beliefs, but it is the few that are causing a problem as usual.

I am very open to having logical, intelligent conversations, and even debates, with people that respect MY belief as well.\n\nI respect people's right to believe what they want, and have no problems with it until they begin condemning, name-calling, or just being outright rude (the whole sit down and shut up comment from my brother/sister would get a good butt-kicking...).\n\nIt is sad and disturbing that SOME Christians find it easier to just hate everyone who is different from themselves then to actually LEARN something new.  Ask questions, discuss thoughts...etc.  It's not hard, but I think that they are intolerant of difference.\n\nOn top of that, I feel that they fear challenges.  They may not be secure enough in their faith to understand others, as well as defend theirs when the going gets tough.  Again, this is not all Christians, just the ones who feel we are attacking them by our very existance.\n\nI think it will be a cold day in their hell before they ALL respect us COMPLETELY.  All we can do is continue smiling and be the better person.  We are strong enough in our non-beliefs to continue on with our lives without hating people for their choices.  They are the ones that, according to them, have to live with their choices in the "afterlife".

Hey I don't mind...  Let everyone speak their mind.  If it's negative then let everyone see it.  If it's mean, let everyone see who is mean.  \nDon't be offended.  \nIf a streaker runs down the street.  It's no reflection on you.  Don't be offended by it.   \nIf someone wants to spew hatred, let them speak and their words will show everyone who is the hater.  It's no reflection on you.  Don't take it personal.  We can all make judgements on who is doing wrong and who is doing right.\nThey must persuade us to change our minds and we must do the same.  If they choose to spew evil, that doesn't sound convincing or inviting for me to agree with them.  They won't win any friends or change any minds that way.  \nYou just continue to be nice and you will start to make a difference in the world, one person at a time...

I don't hate Christians I just believe something different. Not what say, the bible would say litrally. At the end of the day know one really knows. And I also hate loud mouth athiests who wish too offend others for the sake of it.

I really don't get that one at all, I think that "those people" that you speak of will use anything to justify their hate.  I personally disagree, but then I am in the twenty-first century, not the friggin dark ages.\nI am a Christian, by do not think it is my place to pass judgment on others, tell them how to live their lives.  I am also heterosexual, and I can testify to this, I did not choose to be this way, it is how God made me.  I cannot control what "turns me on".  I also believe that you can justify ANYTHING by picking apart the Bible, and that is BS.   God is love, not hate and competition.  Peace be with you.

Hate is a strong word and I do not toss it around lightly.\n\nI dispise the actions of a few people of all races, sexes etc., but I think I can honestly say I do not HATE anyone.  At least I don't generalize and say things like "All Blacks. . ." or "All Muslims. . ." or "All homosexuals. . .", so I guess I can say that I don't harbour any hatred for people.  I prefer to judge people on their individual merits, not as a group.\n\nBut I guess that would depend on how you want to classify the word "hate".

If those are you beliefs then you do not have to feel as if they are wrong because someone of different beliefs tells you that you dont need to prove your faith by doing xyz. Faith can take on many different forms and if you feel you must express your faith a certain way then that is what is best for you. However, if you dont want people to judge your way of faith and tell you that you are wrong, remember that when you look upon other people practicing their faith in a way that is different than yourself. \n\nWe can all show our faith in God through a mulititude of ways, just express it in the way that comes most naturaly to you as long as you arent keeping others from doing the same.

I think the key word in your question is respect.  It is entirely possible to disagree with someone and still respect them.  The other thing that we need to remember when dealing with people from other religions, is that we are representing our own faith to them.  As a Christian, my faith teaches me to love my neighbors, and it even teaches me to love my enemies.  So, I am certainly called to love people of other faiths.

It is never O.k to hate. If your friend offend u, talk it over with them or call in a third party if u think it's o.k.Why should one spend precious time hating? Rather,spend time thinking of how to progress.
