Isn't is Nietzsche is consistent when he says that it is just plagiarizing Christianity when secular are arguing for love instead of being true to reason alone?
What's arbitrary about not wanting to hurt others? It's actually a very reasonable thing to not hurt others aimlessly.
Also, people were preaching love and no harm centuries before Christ.
If I follow your logic, then if I have a personal goal which includes hurting and killing other people, it follows that it is allowable to hurt or kill other people.
Before Christ, it was the silver rule only: Do not do unto you...
In Christ, it was the golden rule: Do unto others...
