Quote by Doug Horton

Love is a given, hatred is acquired.

Love is a given, hatred is acquired.

Summary

This quote suggests that love is innate within us, a natural inclination or capacity to care for and connect with others. It is something that comes to us without any effort or conscious decision. In contrast, hatred is something that is learned or grown over time, often as a result of negative experiences, conditioning, or exposure to toxic influences. It implies that hatred is not an inherent characteristic of human nature, but rather a response or reaction to external factors. Ultimately, it highlights the distinction between love as a foundational emotion and hatred as a learned behavior.

Our understanding of doctrine is not perfect, and no matter

Our understanding of doctrine is not perfect, and no matter what the popes have said, I don't believe for a moment that God is going to damn for eternity the billions of children he allowed to born and die without baptism. No, I think you're likely to go to hell because, despite all your brilliance, you are still quite amoral. Sometime before you die, I pray most earnestly that you will learn that there are higher laws that transcend mere survival, and higher causes to serve. When you give yourself to such a great cause, my dear boy, then I will not fear your death, because I know that a just God will forgive you for the oversight of not having recognized the truth of Christianity during your lifetime.
