Is it just me or was that the most tortured point ever made?

Dear Ms. Tanaka,

Perhaps yesterday's inquiry cut a little too close to
the ol' schwaller for comfort, so how 'bout if we
slice it from another angle?

Yesterday you blessed us with an explanation for the
reason that you hate others, stating,

". . . you assume hating someone must include an
element of maliciousness or malevolence, but that is
not the case at all when I hate someone. If I hate
someone precisely because of his opposition to God's
justice, truth and righteousness, my hatred will not
be characterized by maliciousness or malevolence, but
rather by an overriding concern for God's justice,
truth, and righteousness. In fact, my primary motive
in hating someone has less to do with that person per
se, than on defending my Lord and Savior from His
enemies."

According to Strong's, the Greek word "miseo," which
the Authorized translates "hate," means "to detest
(especially to persecute); by extension, to love
less."

Please notice the words "ESPECIALLY TO PERSECUTE" and
notice how Merriam-Webster defines the word
"persecute":

"1: to harass or punish in a manner designed to
injure, grieve, or afflict; specifically: to cause to
suffer because of belief
"2: to annoy with persistent or urgent approaches (as
attacks, pleas, or importunities): PESTER."

Now, I want to understand the hatred that you show to
those you deem worthy of this detestable blessing.
More specifically, I want to know how you avoid
showing "maliciousness or malevolence" when you
practice hatred in your religion, because it sure
looks as though you endeavor to "harass or punish in a
manner designed to injure, grieve, or afflict;
specifically: to cause to suffer because of belief,"
which certainly encompasses the meaning of the words
"maliciousness" and "malevolence."

Thank you very much,

Dougs' Hero
