I don't think it's out of hate. Very few people seem to wake up and decide to hate others. Instead, it seems to come from fear..
People are afraid for themselves. They're afraid for their families. They're afraid for whatever they've built up that makes them feel secure, or that they won't have something they think they need. Most of all, I think people are afraid of life and of losing control.
But they don't have control anyway. Someone else is always in charge. And that kind of fear is a weapon of Satan, not God. Jesus didn't die to leave us in fear, but to free us from it.
The basis for all that anger is fear, based on a lie: if you do enough, you can be fine by yourself.
