A nice, midwestern Christian man tries to school you jaded, po-mo douchebags on hate
F.G. Guither | Moon Glow and Biscuits | The Harvest of Hate
Some have contended that man is by nature a violent person. Dr. Fredric Wertham says, however, "Violence is no more an integral part of human life than T.B., syphilis, or cancer." We study these afflictions to prevent them. Animals kill by and large, for survival. As far as we know, they do not hate, or have spite, or take revenge, or express sadism, or greed. Animals are generally averse to killing members of their own species or killing systematically large numbers. So when we speak of massacres, extermination camps, etc. we should not refer to the "bestial" in man, because the beasts of the field do not do that....
Jesus said, that even if we are angry with our brothers, we are liable to judgment. (Matt. 5:22) It would seem that hatred itself is a form of murder, and is anathema to our Savior.
The total goal of the Christian Church is to be able, someday, to harvest the products of good will and love in our world. We may be a long way from that goal, but it must be the focus of every prayer, and the steadfast purpose of every one who has come to know the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
