No, I think hate is important, even for a Christian. We are taught that there are things we not only may hate, but ought to hate. The Devil and all his works, for example. The evil in this world is not something we ought to have any feelings about other than hatred. I hate the fact that little girls are molested. I hate the fact that innocent people are killed by terrorism. I hate the fact that people are killed, raped, and violated. And I ought to feel this way.
