"The whole thing is a vicious circle.Vicious being the operative word. Proving that he is the Antichrist, Donald Trump recently went on a tear about hating his enemies at Charlie Kirk's memorial service. Sadly, I've been to my share of memorials, and I can say without hesitation that I've never once heard "hate" preached from a pulpit. Unless it was something like "Ed hated spinach.""
"Jesus said in J,"Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God." I guess that line from Jesus gets lost on the phony Christian conservatives among all the times Jesus said homosexuals would burn in hell. Oh, wait, he didn't say anything about that. Then I wonder why they miss such strong advice from Christ?"
"Hate for brother or sister inhabits its most sanctimonious messenger, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson. This week, Johnson condemned the upcoming "No Kings" protests, calling them a "Hate America rally." I swear to a God (the one who loves) that Johnson simply cannot get away from hating. His piety is just so nauseating, which is fitting for his politics that make people sick. He hates as if hating was the 11th Commandment and that God personally signed his permission slip to be hateful."
Conservative Christians often use the word 'hate' as if Christianity permits hateful behavior. They repeatedly speak about hate, condemn hate, then use the word hate to spread hate in a self-perpetuating cycle. Donald Trump publicly urged hating his enemies at a memorial, normalizing hatred in political rhetoric. Christian teaching emphasizes love, including Jesus' warning that someone who loves God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. Many conservative figures ignore that injunction while promoting harmful rhetoric toward marginalized groups. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson frequently frames opponents as hateful and projects sanctimonious piety while actively fostering hatred.
