So you are saying that we are not supposed to take every word literally as the verse states it. Tell me, what dictionary did you get your definition of hate from? I've never seen the word hate mean to put something above another.
"literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and axiomatic (self-evident or unquestionable) and fundamental truths indicate clearly otherwise."
Obviously a literal rendering of the word 'hate' would violate the Command to honor our parents.
...Back to the topic at hand, I'm enjoying it.
