Does anyone hate Jesus?

I'm finding it quite fascinating that so many people here are describing Jesus as a myth.

Whether the person existed or not, the myth exists. For all I know, there may have been a person (or persons) that Santa Claus/Saint Nicholas was patterned after. Same with Zeus, Thor, Osiris, Buddha, etc.

In my limited experience and knowledge, I know of no actual evidence for the existence of any of them. And I have no emotional response to those myths or to their alleged conceptual progenitors.
 
I for one am in the "he never existed" camp. Kapyong makes a good case here: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6616726&postcount=77

And for some reason, I was reminded of this HHGTTG quote (totally irrelevant):
And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.

Well, I have never met anyone named Jesus. I hold hate to anyone that I have had extensive time to be with and make good decision on the matter. If I ever do meet a Jesus, I can then tell you my experiences and if I hate him/her or not.
 
I hired two Jesuses from behind a Home Depot to build me a new fence and the thing is totally not straight. So I'm rightly pissed because I paid them a whole twenty dollars for a days work.

"The workman is worthy of his hire"... I read that someplace.
 
A whole twenty dollars. I even let them drink from the hose. Not the good hose but the old one.

I don't hate Jesus.

Boiled okra is another matter. I HATE whole boiled okra.

I don't mean that I dislike boiled okra. I mean I have bad dreams about it. I dream I'm at a batting-range splattering slimy boiled okra with a baseball bat.

Jesus doesn't even figure compared to the active 24/7 hatred I have for slimy green whole boiled okra.

I'm sure most of you can identify with that - especially those who work with elephants having chronic sinus infections.

I'm glad we had this little talk. :)

"Jesus loves all of us, even those that hate him..."

This was posted on Facebook by an acquaintance of mine, and I wondered: "Does anybody really 'hate' Jesus?"

I'm a skeptic and polyatheist, but I hate Jesus no more than I do any other deity or fictional hero: Thor, Zeus, Krishna, Santa Claus, Peter Pan, Superman, etc. In fact, I think most of them are pretty cool, in the same way I like Yoda and Gandalf.

Anyone out there really hate Jesus, and if so, why?

Does Satan hate Jesus?

Does Jesus love Satan?
 
Personally I find this "I can't hate that which doesn't exist" line a very lousy cop-out. Have the namby-pamby atheists no standards at all? Can they not judge character, even if that character is non-existent? Are they so obsessed with making friends and kissing up that they ignore the fact that while they think that deities are a myth, the majority of religious knuckle-draggers out their not only think they're real, but the epitome of all goodness?

So yes Christians, if your God existed I'd hate him for the capricious tyrant that your holy book portrays him, just as I hate your "Messiah" for being a self-righteous prick, just as I hate you for being delusional, superstitious, sheep who want to inflict their factually incorrect stupidity on the rest of mankind.
 
To critically examine the OTHER side of the OP statement- Is someone who loves me REALLY going to send me to Hell??
