This ties into another concept that I find interesting, which is; rational, scientific morality. As in, morality you can prove exists.
I think that you wouldn't want to live in a world where people hate you, so you wouldn't hate other people is one way to look at it. The whole do onto others as you would have done onto yourself, that actually makes logical sense and isn't a religious rule (it's just a universal rational one, there's no such thing as rational religious rules. A rational idea is just rational, any rule is just a dogma, there's no rules exclusive to religious people that make them better people).
But beyond that, I'm sure hate isn't very healthy. I often hear about how stress causes health problems or whatever. That's ironic considering the age we live in, where stress just comes with the territory.
Hate of what is bad? Hate of war? Hate of bigotry? Hate of what?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
