to fear the lord is to hate evil

When I read signs like that I think it means if you are afraid of god sending to hell you will hate evil. Evil meaning anything that church finds unacceptable.
It could be anything. Gold earrings, body peircings, tatoos, rock and roll music Well those examples are on the extreme end but you get the idea.

I think the word 'fear' is suppose to mean what wolf said but people are sheep with grown up sheep leaders leading them. Regurgitating the same ole spin.

Fear and hate are not useful states of mind.
If there is a thing as evil then I am pretty sure it's my brother and we should seek to understand how it operates in us?
