Replace Hate with Love (Agape)
I am getting fed up with the hatred I hear. The Greek word for unconditional love is agape. This is how our world should be. Perhaps I am an idealist and people will say, “that will never happen.” If we don’t all keep this in mind, then of course it will never happen. If people even SAY, “it will never happen,” it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Let us stop the BS of self-fulfilling hate prophesies.
I wrote about my disgust with Governor Abbott of Texas when it came to his hateful diatribe about LGBT+. I hold true to that. I also wrote about my disgust with Abbott’s hateful expressions about a Muslim civil rights group. The idiot described the group as being a “terrorist” organization. Abbott’s words are those of a stupid idiotic bastard, what else can I say about a hateful person? A bastard. A SOB. He and other hateful Americans can take their hate and shove it up where the sun don’t shine.
Today, sitting in a waiting room, a person approached the receptionist. He made a comment about how “he does not like New York City.” He then looked my way. I wondered, why someone would look my way and say how they don’t like New York City. My dad did not care about New York City. But he would NEVER go up to another person and start a conversation with, “I hate New York City.” My dad taught me to find the good in things. The”silver lining in the cloud” should be identified. Maybe my dad did not like New York City, but he took our family to Radio City Music Hall and Broadway (and off-Broadway) shows. One time, as a kid, we took a vacation to New York City and stayed at a high rise hotel. Were the costs high? You bet. And my dad would talk about how high the costs were.
So, why is this guy looking my way when he merely says, “I hate New York City.” No examples. Nothing.
Here is what I bet the reason is he looked my way. Because I wrote about my disdain for the governor of Texas who called Muslims “terrorists.” He slandered a whole group of people. Would he do the same to Christian Nationalists and MAGA maggots who speak out against the LGBT+? I doubt it.
Then I thought about this. My gosh! I must be popular! People are reading what I write! WOW! That would be great, except for one thing. Today’s generation of Baby Boomers and younger are stupid dolts who want to win with their opinions about having hate for groups of people, from white folk who hate black folk to those who hate LGBT+ to those who hate Muslims, Jews, Hindus, or also hate immigrants. These Baby Boomer dolts with the mind of Machiavelli and hate think that because sports are so popular, EVERYONE in society is after the ability to win, win, win, no matter what – and win with one’s opinion. Humbling oneself to LEARN and find out their opinion MIGHT BE WRONG, just does not settle with these dolts very well.
There is a problem, though. There are too many of such dolts. Probably half the population. They are emboldened by the Man-baby regime (which needs to be destroyed) so they have loudmouths who can feel comfortable about expressing their hatred at any time and with no introduction which might lead them into such drivel. Meanwhile the other half of the population runs on fear and intimidation which silences them. I am involved with that other 50% and I am not afraid to shut my mouth to this human indecency of hate talk.
The first amendment does not protect hate talk. It does not protect lies. It does not protect slander because slander is based on false information which emanates from hearsay and gossip. It is about time our judicial system supported this notion because the very idea I address here is about civility and a CIVILIZED society, not a barbaric one as bad as the former Soviet Union, German Nazi nation, Mussolini, Nipponese Hirohito crap (with genocide of the Chinese) or back to the very barbaric Roman Empire. A civilized society creates a COMMUNITY FAMILY of people who have unconditional love (agape) for each other. Thus, we all have the opportunity to be elevated to success in life. Is it not success what we wish to attain? Is it not building confidence in self so as to attain success and achievement? If you think not, then your brain needs to go where the sun don’t shine because you are a stinking idiot of a human being. As a Christian, I am not supposed to have hate for you and certainly I do not. I have a hate of hate. Period. I have a love of all human beings.

Cowards Will Say Anything
Amidst the outpouring of disgust against Lt. Governor, Dan Patrick’s statement of “you reap what you so” comment on Twitter, was likely to be found some comments which make reasonable sense. Patrick is a politician of hatred, caused by stubborn ignorance in believing traditionalist beliefs in the scriptures, rather than attempting to seek wisdom. He has a finger pointed at the LGBT community, with three pointed back at himself. Only God makes the final say and anyone else who judges is nothing but a self-righteous coward trying to help him or her to feel better about their own irregularities by trashing others.
I suppose that Patrick believes the African-Americans in that church in Charleston “reaped what they sowed” as a hateful white man gunned them down? I suppose the little elementary school kids at Sandy Hook “reaped what they sowed” as a hateful man gunned them down? What about the other attacks of AMERICAN terrorism i this nation? The victims in each case “reaped what they sowed?”
What makes this tragedy far worse is that the religion from which the killer apparently came believes they are not “cowards” and are actually praised by Allah. In a civilized world with a belief in a loving God, people like this killer are considered cowards.
What about the LGBT community in all of this? Unlike the people in Charleston, LGBT are able to HIDE themselves. The bigots do not attack them due to a different color of skin. Perhaps Archbishop Akinola of Nigeria needs to understand this and be a real Christian, not bowing to Muslim beliefs out of fear. And the same can be said of white people living in African nations like Kenya and Nigeria (and other areas). In all these situations, people cannot change the color of their skin. However, LGBT people can live in denial of who they are and therefore find safety from hateful people.
In the end, men and women can kill the body, but they cannot kill the soul. Will God judge cowards – deceptive ones – worse than those who are honest about the way GOD MADE THEM? None of us know for certain the answer to this question. But I place my bets that only a loving God would have created the beauty of this earth, including the beauty of human beings, made in God’s image. And a loving God would not condone awful things against other human beings, as often wrongly portrayed in the “Old Testament” by legends and myths of men who reported life the way it was in those ancient times. I really do not believe that God condones the killing of babies in the name of God. I really do not believe that God condones the killing of LGBT in the name of God, either.
Evil hateful men and women will stop at nothing to prove their point that they work “in the name of God.” I said EVIL, did I not? They follow the ways of Satan the devil, with whom Jesus Christ resisted temptation while confined with the evil person in the dessert. Pat Robertson makes money from hate and evil and pretends its about Jesus Christ. Indeed, Robertson is the Anti-Christ. Of whom does Robertson really hold animosity? After Hurricane Katrina, he announced. and many stubbornly ignorant folks swallowed what he said, that New Orleans was destroyed due to homosexuality. Yet, what were the facts about that hurricane? Katrina had silently crept over South Florida with virtually little or no damage. Where is there a larger population of LGBT? New Orleans or South Florida and the Keys? Yet, Robertson convinced a whole bunch of gullible stubbornly ignorant folks that New Orleans was destroyed due to homosexuality. He never bothered to explain why South Florida was “spared?”
Perhaps it’s a case of – “okay folks, go after the homosexuals first.” Then when homosexuals are destroyed, “okay folks, go after people with a different skin color.” Then when they are destroyed, Robertson and other hateful folks (jihadists in both the Christian and Muslim religions), selling hatred which emanates from the Devil, will keep going after innocent folks, until they go after ME who remained complacent in it all. Who will be there for me?
