False. Don't go there with that expectation. You can pray not to hate and have patience for those who try you. But stepping into church is not going to cure your anger issue.
You have to let the spirit work in You.
Love for Enemies
27"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. 34And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. 35But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Luke 6

FALSE. Going to church doesn't automatically guarantee you will never hate. Look at all the people of many different religions on here spewing hate. I always wondered why, if your religion (or lack of) is so wonderful, why oh why are you so darn miserable? Lord, do I know this can be said about some Christians too! Hopefully, going to church would inspire you to develop your relationship with God outside of those church walls. Hopefully, the church you went to would teach you that hate is evil and not condoned by God in ANY way. Then you could possibly free yourself of hate. But it is always, always a choice. Then again, so is love.

False. Church will not make you a better person. By going to church you learn more about God and learn how to study his word better. You also gain fellowship with other believers which help your faith grow. Being a Christian does not mean that you become a perfect person, rather that you realize that you are condemned to hell by your sins and require the saving grace of Christ's sacrifice on the Cross to pay for the sins that you have made.

If you are a Believer in God and Jesus you won't hate. People go to church all the time trying to be a better person and find the true spirit of God and many are very troubled but at least they are trying not just sitting around trying to make a fool out of religious people! Got It?

False. If you have your Faith and you love God as you do others and as you do yourself, then i guess you won't hate at all. The mere act of going to Church doesn't make it better. It is what is within that counts most.

Yes, it is true in the divine teachings.
But in reality, because of various reasons such as prejudices, diferences in cultures and traditions, varieties in the educational systems..., men are still hating each other.
The conditions of our world will improve rapidly when we read again the Holy Books and put the sacred verses into practice.
And it is wonderful that almost all the Holy Books are now easily accessible on the Internet.
