Hate

Last night I sent out one of those forwarded email surveys.  I have gotten several responses which have all been entertaining but what I find most interesting is that only one person answered the question about hate.  (Shout out to Anna!)  It's good to hate!  May be that's whats wrong with our nation and even the church, we're all so afraid to hate.  There are certain things in this world that have absolutely no positive value.  Shouldn't we hate terrorism, injustice, abortion, divorce, abuse of any kind against a person or substance????  I think hate could possibly be the only emotion powerful enough to drive us to make a difference, to become an agent of change, a activist. May be if more people hated these things we would see less of them!  In that light I am changing my answer from hating my dogs (which I didn't really mean anyhow, they are just on my last nerve these days) to hating apathy!  But if you didn't answer that question, don't get me wrong, I am not calling you apathetic.  I'm just say'n I wish we hated evil a little more as a society!
