Lady Checkmate's headline: "The Alt-Left's False Accusations of Hate and their total misunderstanding of Love and Tolerance"

I couldn't have said this better myself...

Tolerance "tolerates" differences; love embraces regardless of differences. In 2016, I received a call from a concerned sister whose brother was suicidal. The following day, I had the privilege of visiting him, a male prostitute, in North Hollywood. I spent two hours sharing God's love, my prodigal story and hope in Christ. I left him feeling hopeful and encouraged.

A month later, I received a call that he had died in his sleep, possibly from complications of pneumonia. .......... Tolerance would not have motivated me to drive three hours round-trip, but love did.

Amen.

The Alt-Left's Hate:

Some people WANT you to hate them.
1. They want you to hate them because THEY get oppression points. Being the victim is an accomplishment for them. People want you to hate them because it gives THEM significance. Believing they are hated is a fundamental part of their identity.
2. They want you to hate them because if you do not, they would feel obligated to consider what you have to say. The respectful thing to do with people you disagree with is to engage them through an exchange of ideas that involve mutual respect and a sincere attempt to understand the others perspective. But they do not want to have to explain why kids do not need to have a mother AND a father or why a white woman can identify as a man but not an african american. They want to be able to do whatever they want to do and never feel "judged" for doing it. By telling themselves you are hateful relieves them of the need to defend what they are doing and their ideas from critique.
3. They want to believe you hate them because THEY HATE YOU. That is the great irony here. They hate you because you believe there are ways to show love other than through approval. And if you hate them back, in their minds that somehow validates THEIR hatred of YOU. That is the nature of bitterness. The sad fact is, once you choose to hate someone, EVERYTHING they say or do is offensive to you. Even kindnesses will be interpreted in a way that allows them to think of it as hate. It could be they accuse you of hating them because THEY WANT YOU TO HATE THEM.

True. There's nothing we can do about that.

Don't forget to RECOMMEND. Lets get the Truth out so that Light may shine bright in this dark place and Jesus Christ may be glorified. Even if the discussion is closed, please still RECOMMEND. May God bless you and keep you.
