You can disagree completely with someone, see eye-to-eye on almost nothing, and still not hate them. In fact, you can even be friends. Selflessness and forgiveness play a key role in having peaceful, healthy relationships.

I did a count. Jesus Christ was mentioned by name 404 times. "God" or "Father" (excluding earthly father references, also counting "God the Father" as 1) was mentioned 548 times. Combined references directly to Christ or God by name totals to 952.
