Treat others as one would like to be treated.
I read the Bible and I'm sure Phat has as well. I did not read that self-hate and the resultant hatred of others was a requirement.
Which god do you worship anyway, Rob? I am unfamiliar with the hate others as you would hate yourself type god except as a counterexample.
