They keep saying be logical, be logical. I'm atheist, and I'm saying it's not logical. All the top dogs figured that out: Nietzsche, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, etc...Yes, people have freedom of choice, but they never choose what choices will be presented, how their emotions react, or what they've learned thus far (and don't tell me that you can be born in Africa and still choose to be perfectly educated as a Harvard scholar). Knowledge chooses us. That means knowledge of what is "good" and what is "bad." Anyone who thinks they can choose what they want and how they feel is very naive, and control only comes with knowledge which is not equally distributed. Once you realize that freewill is an illusion, that people would be nothing without influence from the outside world (something not within our control) - you will have no reasons to hate anyone.
Even Richard Dawkins said humans are biological machines subject to programming.
