If someone disagrees with you or your beliefs, does that mean they hate you and what you stand for?

Too many people conflate disagreement with hatred.

People throw out "hatred" as a way to silence discussion, debate, and disagreement.

Disagreement is fine, but when they tell you're wrong and what you've been believing in your whole life is just fairy tales, that's just outright insulting.
So in my opinion many confuse disagreement with being ignorant and insulting.

@Dan193 Yes, people should be able to disagree without being insulting.

One could, for example, disagree with homosexuality morally while not calling homosexuals "perverts"; that would be insulting.

@SW-User yes, I completely agree.
