And to answer the title question., we dont hate YOU, we hate what u do to the plants.. there is animal abuse, child abuse, and u guys commiting PLANT abuse..
I am 100% newbie but I think I know the answer to your question.
I like to compare this to religion. I would worship my god and if it works out good I will always worship my god that way. If someone else from a far away land says no our lordy lord must be worshiped this way! Automatically I would go to war and unleash a crusade to defeat my fellow man. I guess the moral of the story is everything is going to be okay....... unless you are Jewish.
