Believers are supposed to hate their parents when they follow Jesus (??If any man come to me, and not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sister, yet, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple? (Luke 14:26). Well, considering that Christians do not abandon their families but usually attempt to brainwash them they are all guilty of not following this verse. ??It??s symbolic?, yeah, I know your lame ass defense to this one already.
