Here’s what I found on the internet;
verb (used with object)
1. to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest:
If you honestly cannot recognise any of this on anti-Mormonism threads, then there really is no more to say on this thread.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
You did not say anti-mormonISM you said anti-mormon - they are not the same.
I think we all know what the word hate means, but I think the issue is more, what is the object of this “hate” everyone complains about?
FReepers are accusing other FReepers of bigotry, which is saying they hate Mormons. I don’t think that is a factually true accusation. All of these threads have always been solely in opposition to MormonISM, not Mormon people.
Now, if you want to accuse me of hating MormonISM, then I’ll gladly accept the charge and plead guilty. I think I’ll be in good company, though, because I believe that God Himself hates and detests MormonISM with a passion that far exceeds my own. However, if you are going to accuse me of hating Mormon people, then I’m going to have a big problem with that one. I love Mormon people, which is actually the main reason why I hate MormonISM!
Yes, and you are correct I detest and loath the blasphemy of mormonISM and I will expose it every chance I have.
I love mormons, which is why I care so much, I weep that they have fallen for mormonISM.
Charging those who oppose evil with being hateful is a duplicitous liberal tactic, as by the same standard they aee hateful towards those they call hateful.
And while technically such responses express hate, the ad hominem charge of being hateful infers the object is driven by a hateful spirit, as in opposing homosexual relations, versus hating something out of love for what is right and good.
