I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.

That's what I do and I enjoy even the hateful moments of a relationship where two people or four people come together to make a bigger mess than originally intended.

Whether it comes from a despotic sovereign or an elected president from a murderous general or a beloved leader I see power as an inhuman and hateful phenomenon.

Hateful is the power and pitiable is the life of those who wish to be feared rather than loved.

First I think more Americans need to declare their independence from partisan politics on both sides. The more that Americans declare their independence the more the parties will have to compete for their votes using reason rather than the hateful appeals.

Communism is a hateful thing and a menace to peace and organized government.

I can't understand people calling themselves religious and being hateful. If a preacher is preaching hate to fear God that's not religion that's not helping humanity that's organizing an army to defeat somebody.

Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom.

Man can certainly flee from God... but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.
