Though the line between fear and hate is quite thin and blurry in human psychology. The arachnophobes I know do, in fact, hate spiders with a passion.

Some native speakers also agree with your definition. > Though the line between fear and hate is quite thin and blurry in human psychology. In some instances it may be, although the word 'awe' has no sense of hatred in it. > The arachnophobes I know do, in fact, hate spiders with a passion. Okay, well how about snakes? I'm afraid of them but I don't think anybody is disgusted by them.
