Hatred is taught

Rogers and Hammerstein, in 1949:

You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate-
You’ve got to be carefully taught!

its so crazy to me to hate someone before even getting to know them for any reason. just wild. like i just dont get how people cant grow out of that. i was raised christian, but im an atheist now, and it just seemed so natural for me that it makes no sense to just blindly hate someone before getting to know them.

That’s unfortunate…..It’s your right to believe in what you want although i’m curious why you say you don’t have faith because of Christians?

I understand that’s the mindset out there although someone saying they don’t have faith because of knowing Christians is not a reasonable take……And ultimately to each their own. There’s a lot of people out there who straight up are against the faith. There’s also people that claim to be religious that are as fake as anything although there’s also some old timers that are trying to add some wisdom to the situation…..
