Is "Hate" a Spiritual Principal?

This morning I read Proverbs 6:16 about the six things God “Hates”. I'm a little confused by a seeming contradiction. Also, the word “hate” bothers me in the context of God because the bible also says that “God is love”.

In the New American Standard Bible, in John Ch. 1 vs. 1 it states; "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him; and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. Here's my question; If God is love and God created something he could “hate” why would he do that? Isn't hate the opposite of love?

For the agnostics, atheists or those who simply dismiss the bible as a fictional story and throw Jesus out with the bath water so to speak, I am not so interested to hear those common excuses. I have found that attitude to be limiting and not in alignment with my own personal spiritual experience studying scripture. I would like to hear from those like me having found validity in the truth of Christ yet search their own hearts with these kinds of questions and wonder the sense of it all.

Also, I guess as I round the bend of my youth these days, I understand “hate” a little bit better.

It wasn’t long ago, I bought into the Marxist socialist idea that we should just all get along, share everything and buy solar panels and mercury filled light bulbs. That would be too co-dependent. As we all have begun to see flashes of evidence of the real motives behind the current corrupt powers at work, it is like watching a modern day version of the Wizard of OZ with a sicker twist; someone really weak and cowardly behind the curtain promising all of all of us that "special something" at the end of the yellow brick road (we already have within us). As I watch the evil of greed and lust for power at work, I hate it. I hate the fact that Greedy Criminal Bankers are trying to create a one world government so they can take over and maintain complete control and that so many drink the “cool-aid”. I hate the fact that the white house administration can pledge complete transparency yet what is happening behind closed doors will further collapse our economy and devastate the quality of health care in our country no matter what our wishful thinking may tell us. I hate that children around the world are being abused, and exploited. I hate that faithful patriotic men and women are fighting for freedom our leaders are giving away in the name of green. I hate that our safe school czar is so dangerous. I hate the fact that so many our brainwashed by mainstream media “republicans included” and that we have been so conditioned to believe everything we see or read. I hate that Tiger Woods cheated on his wife and what that must be doing to his family. I hate that he can use being a “sex addict” as a rationalization since he “sick and not bad”. I hate it all yet I still have hope that God knows what is happening and is simply giving the world enough rope to hang itself to a point of surrender. I guess hate isn’t the opposite of love after all, simply a reflection of it. I wonder how others feel and think and how many even care. I pray; Psalm 139.
