In doing so, you should at least explain what it means to live in the fear, deception or hatred. You only need to pick one of these. After doing so, then explain what Thurman meant by “the religion of Jesus” and how the religion of Jesus is an antidote to what you explained about fear, deception, or hatred.

Then, explain how the religion of Jesus is related to the love ethic. (900 words minimum)
