Christians and Atheists: Do you hate anyone or anything...?

Question

Please be very honest.

Answer 1

It doesnt matter whether you're an Atheist or a Christian. People tend to hate the people who disagrees with them most of the time and and hate the things that bothers them the most. It has nothing to do with who they worship or if they worship anyone or anything at all.

What makes humans so different from animals is that we can think for ourselves. We just don't act the way nature wants us to act.

So to answer your question, everyone hates someone or something. We don't live in a utopian world and that's proving a lot.  

Answer 2

I do not hate anyone. Hate only breeds more hate. There are people that have ways I dislike. I just try to be nice to them and hope they realize how they are treating others or I just avoid them as much as possible.

atheist/Buddhist

Answer 3

Christians are to hate the sin, not the sinner.

We are to love our enemies like we love our best friends

We are to treat others the way we would want them to treat us

The only hatred acceptable in Christians is hatred of Satan and hatred of Sin

Answer 4

I hate religious extremists.

Answer 5

Hate is a negative emotion and not really worth the effort.

Answer 10

I'm Christian - I don't "hate" anyone or anything - however, I find bad drivers, ignorance, liars, hypocrites, exaggeraters, manipulators, and others to be rather annoying.

Answer 11

I don't know if I hate anything. There are some things that I strongly dislike, but only a few are ones that I dislike passionately enough to hate. Aside from Fred Phelps, I don't know what else would fit into the passionate disliking category.  

Answer 12

Hating on people is a wasted emotion.

I do hate celery though.   Yuck.  It's NOT food.

Answer 13

I prefer to use 'dislike' instead of hate; 'hate' is a very strong word to use.  I dislike many, but I 'hate' what many do or say.

I try not to use and avoid the word hate because it builds hatred in your heart.

John 15:19

"If you were of the world, the world would love its own.  Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you...."

Answer 14

No, I don't.

I have a lot of things (and a few people) that I intensely dislike, but nothing that I would apply hate to.

To me, to hate a person means I would enjoy seeing them suffer.  And I don't feel that way about anyone.  And I think hate is too strong a word to apply to things that are not people.

Answer 15

I hate sneaky religion, pretending to be peaceful and marrying in to another countries, to disrupt their laws and belief systems

Answer 21

no

somethings i dislike a lot

but i could never hate anything

Answer 22

I don't hate people but I do hate certain acts, ideologies, beliefs.  As a Christian we are suppose to hate sin and evil.  

Answer 23

Hatred is a very intense emotion. I often say I hate things casually -  i.e. “I hate cheddar cheese. I hate this show. I hate Tom Cruise.”

But when I actually stop and think of the word’s meaning, I take it to mean that you want to see that person you hate being tortured. And I can’t imagine anybody who I would want that to happen to.

You can't love everybody, but you can certainly avoid hating those who you dislike. I believe that every person on the planet has at least one good quality, even if I cannot see what that quality is.

With that said, there are certainly many people in this world who I dislike. Some of them are here in the R&S section. But when I imagine them being tortured...I feel sick to my stomach and I know that I would save their lives if I could.  

Answer 24

I hate a few people, but I do have reasons.

and I feel the same way as the person* above me

thinking of them being toruted or being hurt makes me happier but that is sad to admit that I would be happy about someone elses misery, but its the truth.

edit: (last time..) and I HATE people who hurt animals, and (i hate) rapists

Answer 25

i don't hate anyone...but i do hate when cords are tangled...its my pet peeve...but i'm not sure if i would use hate...more like really get annoyed with...

Answer 26

I say things like I hate Brussel sprouts, but I truly mean I dislike them intensely.  Hate takes way too much energy and in the end harms the hater, not the object of the hatred.   I'm an Episcopalian.

Answer 27

I am a Christian & don't hate anyone.

But Jesus hated the false doctrines that tried to enter His Churches in Revelation1+, to the seven Churches. So? I hate false doctrines also.

I try to shine my light into all the dark corners.

Also to consider Proverbs6:16+  These six things does the LORD hate: yea, even seven are an abomination unto Him:

a proud look, a lying tongue & hands that shed innocent blood. A heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness who speaks lies & he who sows discord among brethren.

Answer 28

I hate the smell of a wet dog.

Answer 29

Yes I hate some  people. There are only a very few people that I hate, but I cannot deny that I do. And if I think about them being tortured...it makes me happy because they have caused others close to me severe pain. Things, I'm not so sure about. I can't think of any object that I could actually HATE.

Answer 30
