Why are Christians, Jews and Muslims so filled with hate?

Christians shouldn't be filled with hate - Jesus was very clear about how we should act:\n\nYou have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.\n\nAnd:\n\nFor if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.\n\nThose calling themselves Christians should love those who hate or disagree with them.  You can see some beautiful examples of christians forgiving those who kill them, imprison and torture them in China in Brother Yuns book the "heavenly man".

Most religious books are full of some hatred. Even the Bible is full of such hatred. It's not fair to single out one text.

Think about it...many unbelievers feel the need to bash christianity but not other religions (buhdism, islam, hindu, etc...).  That in itself shows that there is something different about what we believe in.  It is in man's heart to know there is a God.  Many people choose to reject this truth and attack all those who do believe it.  \n\nAlso look at the bible and think about how Satan has attacked it and tried to pervert it.  There are countless so called translations of the bible, but there is only one quran.  Why attack a book unless there is power in it.  \n\nBut, as far as being persecuted more?  Not a chance.  We have it easier than Christians during any other time period in any other part of the world.  We don't have to worry about being put to death for our faith.  We just worry about being made fun of a little...I thank God for the privilage to live in this country where we can worship God freely!

I Agree,...To Answer Your Question...One Main Reason Is What Jesus Warned Christians About..."And Ye Shall Be Hated Of All Men For My Sake: But He That Endureth To The End Shall Be Saved" (Matt. 10: 22)....This Is Being Proven Over & Over Again!...This Is Why Christians Are The Most Hated Above All Other Religions.....So Expect Folks To CONDEMN ALL CHRISTIANS!!!....

Well, I believe that they wouldn't want the people to hate anyone, but with something a bit petty like that, I don't think they would mind. But don't get me wrong, it's wrong for them to hate Jews or anyone and Moses and Jesus>>>though they were Jews<<< would bring that up to them. But anyone can rever them.

FIRST REASON:i think that some Christians hate the people who claim that they are Muslims.there are terrorists claiming  that they are Muslims so the Christians hate them and we as Muslims become very angry when we know that they are hating us.they do not hate us they hate the terrorist who claims that they are Muslims.\nSECOND REASON:the minority of the Christians do not the Islam and the Muslims they make their opinion about the Islam and the Muslims from the media and the media in the western try to make all the people hate the Islam and Muslims.\nTHIRD REASON:some Christians think that the Muslim hate them ,they do not look to Egypt (for example)the Muslims and the Christians live with each other a peacefully life ,they co-operate and cohabit with each other.they also think that we are close minded people and they think that we want to live a lone without cohabit or co-operate with any non-Muslim.finally:there are a lot of Christians know the truth of the Islam and they believe that it is the religion of peace.

I think that this is a very valid question.\n\nThe vehemence and anger behind some of these men is so deep that one wonders if all of these feelings are simply a result of their faith, or if there are subtler things at work.\n\nI'm the first to say that "I don't get it." Where does this fear and hatred come from? As an atheist who believes in tolerance, this type of attitude baffles me to no end.\n\nWhy hate? Because a book says it's wrong? The same book says that non-believers should be stoned to death. That is disregarded as part of the old covenant which no longer applies. Why, then, keep up this madness?\n\nI actually have a question currently in the Religion & Spirituality forum that you might be interested in.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmDxhdBqljUh3eJtEUXI8LXsy6IX?qid=1006022105916

Being one of the oldest religions in the world I have never seen why we are hated.  Once the human race can expect that we have different religions and believes and honer that we will all get along better

Muslims do not hate the Jews, people may. \nMuslims are ordered to protect there faith of Jews & Christians.\n\nLet us presume you live in America and New England is occupied by many immigrants. These immigrants take it upon themselves to remove all the population of New England. You are living in a refugee camp. You home, your personal effects, your work place and fields is occupied by them. The UN decide to approve the Ethnic Cleansing.\n\nLater these Immigrants decide that they would like the mid west as well. You are helpless and you are forced to live over the Rocky mountains with millions of others. These Immigrants then decide to occupy the rockies and turn all the rivers towards the Mid west.\n\nYou have no water, walls are built across you remaining land so you cannot visit your friends and relatives, Your home, your personal effects, your work place and fields are a distant memoory.\n\nWhat would you do?\n\nlook at the below URL {a Jewish site}

Because a very small Fraction of an Insane Faction that make the vast majority of peaceful Muslims look Bad in the Eyes of those of Us that don't understand.Remember, Hitler was Supposed to be a fine, upstanding Christian who could Quote the Bible. Could You imagine all Christians being judged by His conduct? It's the same thing with Osama, and Saddam!They don't represent the vast Muslim Majority.

Hate is a very strong emotion, I would sat that I have no use for what he stands for or has done. I do not trust or have any respect for a religion that was started by an individual of his sort. The religion of islam is nothing more than a perversion of judaism and christianity without recognizing the diety of Jehovah,Jesus Christ, or The Holy Spirit. Without Christ their is no salvation, therefore all muslims who do not recognize Jesus as the Christ are doomed to eternal hell.

We Christians are not taught to "hate" anyone! However, we are taught the truth, which is, that Jesus is the Son of God. This guy they call mohammed never died on the cross for anyones sins! He is not of importance, but just another man who thinks he knows it all. If you are a real Chrisitan you will realize that when someone does not have Christ in their religion, they are called, you guessed it, an anti-Christ. We do not hate muslims, but we really don't like them trying to push this Islam off on us. I have seen on TBN where there are many muslims converting to Christianity. When you tell muslims this, they report you!

You said you are looking for legitimate (please note the spelling) answers for why Jews are hated.  The answer is:  there are none.  Jews have always been persecuted and killed.  As a result, we have grown into a very strong people.  As strong people, education is very important, so many Jews are well-educated, and with that often comes success.  Because of this, many people are envious and think that somehow Jews have some silly natural intelligence or ability to succeed, and we don't.  We struggle to survive, and the result is what many do not understand.\n\nAlso, many Christians feel threatened by Jews.  We worship God and only God.  Thus, many Christians feel uncomfortable worshipping Jesus and want to convert Jews in order to validate their (the Christians') own feelings about whom they're worshipping.  When Jews do not willingly convert, it is highly threatening to many Christians.

Thing is that are differences in all cultures and religions.  We are people with different ideas and different beliefs.  That shouldn't mean because I am different from some one else they have a right to hate the difference or me.  We are different, we should celebrate that not hate it.  The religious hatred has been going on as long as one can remember I am sure.  Why?  Does it make one better than the other? No.  Just makes you look like an ass when you scream hatred and have no valid reason for it.  \nAnd as far as on this forum goes.  Its sad, I am genuinely curious about other faiths.  Though I do not follow them I do enjoy learning about them and I am constantly bumping into people trying to convert some one.  This should be a place of education and nothing more.  If you are interested in converting people do it else where.. Thats my take on it.  and the VonJumbo character and Schneb, to me, fuel the fire for forced conversion and hatred on this forum.. But again this is only my opinion.

they are the extremists, trust me.  Most christians can accept and will respect Judaism as a religion.  However, in the bible, it says that A Jewish man betrayed Jesus.  Thats why *some* christians *hate* Judaism.

I really like your questions you get right to the point yeah the only time Christians were persecuted was back in the Roman Empire. Ceasar was the first emperor to kill Christians and then Nero who killed Peter and Paul and set Christians on fire as torches to make light for his chariot races on Vatican Hill. That's basically the only time. In some countries now you have some killings but not major ones. The Jewish people went through a hell of a lot more. Especially with Hitler. I don't know why people whine so much. Everyone believes in something different deal with it you know. Just because you don't think it's right doesn't make it wrong. To them your religion may seem weird. I have studied all the major religions and find them quit interesting. I can see the point that they are coming across with. I think the people who want to be ignorant should go do some research before they open their mouths. GOOD POINT!!!!!you made.\n\n\n\nand Genesis...i think you are the one who has to do some research. I don't know where you got your ideas from but they are not right. Other religions do not kill you for caring around the bible, a few countries do but thats not persecution. Muslims kill other Muslims for converting Christianity. Muslims don't like Christianity for the fact they think the trinity refers to three different people.. they are monotheistic. They don't kill us for caring the bible. As a matter of fact your not even allowed in Mecca, their holy city without being Muslim. DO SOME RESEARCH GESH!!!!!! And Jewish people do not believe in Jesus, they just think he was a jewish guy. And they weren't killed because they believed in the true god. Hitler just didn't like them.\n\n\nFirst of all just because a couple of thousand Christians are killed in other countries doesn't make it persecution we kill thousands of people of different religions with hate groups that are supposedly Christians and they don't call it persecution they call it justification. Now 6 million Jews being killed I classify as persecution. Grow up people\n\nSanta Claus was based on a real person St. Nicholas he had lots of money and used to go around at night and throw money into the houses of poor people. They have just added a few things to it now but it's not a myth it actually happened.

Because we are ignorant of others if not our own religions. We tend to be affraid of things that we do not understand and find it easier to hate than to learn.
