Is it a sin to hate winter?

[mikekle]

I don’t agree. I think they were taking the popular global warming point of view. As in, humans are to blame, because we drive cars and burn coal and raise cattle.

IDK, I mean, if anyone were to go back and check the daily weather from like the 1940s, 50s, etc. and even further back, its clear to see some areas get absolutely bombarded with ridiculous cold, this proves its not a new thing.

I dont think it has anything to do with any action of man, there is just no way mankind could effect the planet in that way, Im not sure what it is, it could be a form of punishment I guess, I do think it means something when it is consistently WELL BELOW average, like for weeks at a time, there has to be a reason for this, as it is causing ALOT of suffering, but not really something we can control, I dont think satan can alter the weather, so…not sure what that leaves?

Keeping in the spirit of the season and the many, many, many, many scrupulous questions asked here…

Is it a sin to hate winter?

Only to the extent that one might dislike leaving the Garden of Eden or that Hate is the opposite of Love or that OCD prevents grace from filling hearts…or that unappreciation for God’s creation is sinful…

Well, as for OCD, that is an illness, not a sin… (I am adding this especially for all the scrupulous people reading here).

I do not even want to talk sin not-sin right now.
Just a thought: Maybe it is better /healthier to focus on the positive. To say “I am looking forward to spring/summer”, “I like summer much more than winter”, instead of “I hate winter”?

Or right now: “I am sooooo happy that spring is coming, thank you Lord!!!”

The important thing is that we always love God and accept that He has created all things for a reason even if we don’t like them at the time.

I deal with this a lot myself; weather phenomena interest me anyway, and when I see the forecasts and don’t like them… yeah sometimes I feel sad then, or felt even scared when it was supposed to get unusually cold for my area… but then, when the milder weather comes again, all the more we enjoy it ).
