This suggests that Klingons are very fierce people (as they are), but perhaps it means that they so full of love that one only need note that so-and-so does not HATE me, to know they love you. Notes on pronunciation: Jesus is not a Klingon name - nor Greek either. The 's' sound doesn't exist in Klingon and would normally be an sh. In the tlhIngan gospel of Mark, it is written yeSuS, pronounced ye-shoosh. I chose to use 'Jesus' because it would be (presumably) taught and used by humans who are more used to that form of the name. gh = *almost* a grr sound H = 'ch' like in Bach, or Chanukah S = 'sh' like shalom ' = a glottal stop; like a cockney pronunces an 'h'
