    Correct Answer

    Malice is considered the most hated sin by God because it represents a deliberate intention to harm or cause suffering to others. It goes beyond mere anger or aggression, as it involves a deep-seated desire to inflict pain or damage. Malice is seen as a direct violation of the principle of love and compassion that God expects from humanity. It is a sin that not only harms others but also corrupts the heart of the person committing it, leading them further away from God's teachings of kindness and forgiveness.
