Its not one-dimensional

[no-one-particular]

There are more than two possibilities:

	Not True	True
Not false	Unknown	True
False	False	Paradox
	No Belief	Belief
No Disbelief	Agnostic	Belief
Disbelief	Disbelief	Confusion
	No Hate	Hate
No Love	Stranger	Enemy
Love	Friend	Fascism

You mean "isn't binary".

Our minds try to collapse things down to one dimension because that's simpler. But as you can see it's actually two dimensional.

I feel that I need to point this out because it isn't always obvious.

Actually, no. Lots of people can handle more than one dimension.

My experience is that it is only those who are incapable of defending their position that offer a false dichotomy. You shouldn't base your understanding of humanity on the most ignorant among us.

Since this is in a religion forum this could be an 'argument' like, "My religion offers a moral code so if you don't accept my god then you are immoral. Immoral people see nothing wrong with killing, stealing, raping, etc."

The OP of this thread has the vibe of a continuation of a previous discussion - as if it is a response to some point or post in a completely separate thread.

Regardless, I don't see why the combination of love and hate would equal fascism.
