“And as far as “generalizing” about the hatred of Freepers, I don’t have to. I was reading it. No need to generalize there....”
Well you are either the great Swami of all things Freeper or you have a God complex. Your comparisons re: Freepers and jihadists who hate enough to behead and sacrifice chilren is despicable. You inability to say you’re wrong tells me you have a God complex.
Provide 3 good pieces of Freeper evidence and you shall be absolved.
You said — “Your comparisons re: Freepers and jihadists who hate enough to behead and sacrifice chilren is despicable.”
Well, you’ve made a link that I never made. I never said FReepers were hating enough to behead and sacrifice children. You simply have not read this properly.
I said that the hate can be the same — in terms of hate — but I’ve never said that it was the same in terms of actions. Note carefully that I mentioned hate but not sinning in one’s hate. You see, hate is not sin, when it is the same kind of hate that God has, which is towards sin and toward evil. As I said, you’re simply not reading very carefully, and then you’re making linkages that I’ve never made. You’ve got to learn to be more precise than that.
And once again, in case you missed it the first time, the jihadists hatred is *implemented* using things and methods which are evil deeds and evil actions. Did you “get that”? I “hate” to have to emphasize these things for you, to point them out, but I guess I have to.
And, the “hate” that some FReepers exhibited — in deed and action (on the other hand), wasn’t in the same category as what I pointed out about the Jihadists (in their deeds and actions). Again, you’ve got to learn to be more precise and exact in these things and distinguish what is being said.
The FReepers were rightfully hating the evil actions and deeds of Clinton. They were despicable, almost as much so as the Jihadists (but I think they’ve got the edge on Clinton, in that category).
Do you get it now. The hate is there on both sides. One is a hatred that God has, towards all the evil and wicked deeds of the world and towards sin. You should hate with as much energy and power as the jihadists, towards those things. That’s proper.
The jihadists, on the other hand, hate with an unjustified hatred — one which they direct towards the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob — and the people who come from that God (i.e., the “Christians and the Jews”). Thus they have this hatred of America and Israel, as in their minds, we’re both representative of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (little do they know that half the people in this country aren’t representative of God...).
Thus, this hatred of theirs is a hatred directed towards the good things of God, and thus, their hatred is unjustified and is grounded in evil deeds and actions to carry out that same hatred. The Christian’s hatred is not directed towards the good things of God, but towards the evil of the world — and is not grounded in evil actions and deeds and he (or she) does not sin in this hatred.
There’s a world of difference in where the hatred is directed and how it is carried out. This make all the difference in the world in comparing the two different hatreds.

P.S. — I realize that most people use the concept of “love” in terms of God, but that is a limited viewpoint. God is love, He is righteousness and He is hatred, too — and all of that is just and righteous and perfect.
