Any matter of hatred, whether it's gossip, character assassination, strife, sowing discord, making malicious assumptions of other's intent, disparaging comments about others (public and private) etc., all of it is intended to dethrone God in the hearts of men to keep them from worshipping Him and being about eternal things. It seems that some do not understand this. For if they did, they would be more inclined to resist this temptation. Unless they just don't care.
But for those who have been doing this and never realized Satan's goal... and care enough to want to overcome, consider this passage;
Colossians 3:2-3
"Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God."
Don't be the distraction. Don't be the pain. Don't be the one to steal another's attention away from praising God.
