The Religious Right maintain that hate is a Biblical imperative.
They quote The Psalms of David where he says that he hates the enemies of God with perfect hatred. (Psalm 139:22)
And so they hate sin.
What happens in effect is that they hate sinners.- those they presume to be disobeying God's Law.
And they justify violence against them.
But violence and hate are the Dark Side.
They are not part of God at all.
The Light is characterized by love, by mercy, by forgiveness, compassion, and understanding.
And God's methods are wholly non-violent.
So the Religious Right are their own worst enemies.
They feed the Dark Side and enforce evil.
