those of us that practice such things are considered “evil” by the people that pretend they are his followers.

Since the Roman Empire took over Christianity around year 380, they inverted the meaning.

Clergy avoids verse "1 John 4:20"

1. Verse "1 John 4:20" - "I love Jesus" is backwards, bad.
2. Verse "1 John 4:20" - "I love God" is backwards, bad.
3. Verse "1 John 4:20" - "I hate Ukraine people, I hate Mexicans" is bad, you are a liar.

In fact, all 3 major Levant religions get it ass-backwards, it isn't just Bible clergy and Church venues.

"Joseph Campbell says religious literalism sets Satan in the seat of God", "To the formula of mythic dissociation, there must now be added that of “social identification”: identification with Israel, with the Church as the Living Body of Christ, or with the Sunna of Islam — each body over-interpreted by its membership as the one and only holy thing in this world. And the focal center and source of all this holiness is concentrated in each case in a completely unique and special fetish — not a symbol, but a fetish: (1) the Ark of the Covenant in the Temple; (2) the Torah in the Synagogue; (3) the Bible of the Reformation; (5) the Koran, as well as (6) the Ka’aba, of Islam.

"There is nothing more tragic than to see an individual whose heart is filled with hate. He comes to the point that he becomes a pathological case. For the person who hates, you can stand up and see a person and that person can be beautiful, and you will call them ugly. For the person who hates, the beautiful becomes ugly and the ugly becomes beautiful. For the person who hates, the good becomes bad and the bad becomes good. For the person who hates, the true becomes false and the false becomes true. That's what hate does. You can't see right. The symbol of objectivity is lost." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
