@missjanedoe @BowsacNoodle Nearly all hate is born of love. It is natural and even necessary to hate that which threatens what you love in the same way pain is natural and necessary to keep you from hurting yourself. Touching an open flame causes pain. In response you jerk your hand back before more damage is done. If a group of people is threatening your children you will hate them. That hate will motivate you to protect your children from that threat.

Not hating the things and people that threaten your children does not make you virtuous, it makes you a bad parent. The same example can be extended to apply to your whole family, yourself, your community, and your culture. Hate that erupts without reason is unhealthy, but then again, any emotion that is acted upon without just cause tends to be unhealthy. Like, say, continued tolerance and love expressed by a battered wife towards an abusive husband, or by an individual towards other people who reliably abuse him/her.

Loving your enemies doesn't mean you lay down and let them destroy you. It means you keep hoping they turn from evil and embrace a more righteous path, even as you smite their evil ass for threatening you and other innocent people. When contemplating what would Jesus do in this situation, remember going ham and beating the ever loving shit out of people with whips is one of the options.
