Best Answer

According to The Bible, hating others is a sin because God wants us to love each other. If we hate one another, we're disobeying God's commandments; therefore, we are sinning against God. However, the Bible itself states that God hates sin, but He loves the sinner. If God doesn't hate people, then we shouldn't either.

Well no it's not. The 7 deadly sins are Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed, and Sloth. I guess you could consider hatred as either Envy or Anger.

Why was hatred sadness and anger created?

Neither hatred, sadness nor anger, were created. Adam and Eve broke the only restriction that God had placed on them (Do not eat of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil). When they did this, sin entered the world. As dark is the absence of light, cold is the absence of heat, etc., so hatred, sadness, and anger came because of the absence of peace with God and the corruption brought by sin.

Is passing feces onto others sinful?

Whether defecating on another person is a sin depends on your motives for doing so. Obviously, if it were an accident, it would not be sinful. Or if you did so out of mental illness, it would not be a sin. However, lust is considered a sin, particularly lust toward someone who you are not married to, so it would be a sin if you did so for lustful reasons. Doing so out of hatred or disrespect would mean you are not being a good neighbor towards others.
