I think the point is that it isn’t necessary to love one another. The necessity is to understand one another, because understanding, I think, is a block to hatred. We mustn’t hate one another. But love is not the only alternative. Oscar Hammerstein II
Weird. This totally goes against Christian teaching. Why would he feel like he needed to say this? Is the best we can do is not hate one another? I think Christian teaching doesn’t make sense to someone unless they understand their own limitations and sinfulness and also the merciful love of God towards them.
