Unusual theological challenge


Hate the sinner, too -Rabbi Shmuley Boteach
There are those who believe that the problem with our world is that there isn't love. But precisely the opposite is true. Evil continues to stalk our world because there isn't any hate.

We excuse Palestinian suicide bombers, and blame Israel. We seek to understand the minds of mass murderers even as we fail to hate their monstrous, evil core.

[I]n a case where the sinner's actions involve brutal inhumanity or mass murderer, we must learn to hate the sinner...
[Jerusalem Post]
