You conflate “detest” and “hate.” I chose that word specifically.

I forgive you.

Oh so we are arguing over degrees of hate...perhaps detest is a higher form of high tech lynching sort of hate.

Forgive yourself!

https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/detest

Detest comes from the Middle French word détester, meaning “to curse, to call God to witness and abhor.” Though the words detest and hate are interchangeable, the word hate is much more common, which has caused it(detest) to lose some of its hateful impact. Detest is used more sparingly, reserved for cases where no other word will do, where your feelings of dislike are so powerful that they need just the right word to sum them up.“She detests politicians”
Synonyms:hateAntonyms:love
have a great affection or liking for
Types:abhor, abominate, execrate, loathe
find repugnant
contemn, despise, disdain, scorn
look down on with disdain
look down on
regard with contempt

Do you have anymore revelations about what God hates...(or detests) you, the scientifically minded, would like us to know about?
