Interesting question actually, since God is supposedly Love and Love is good, and God is good. Hate would be the opposite of Love which good, therefore Hate would be evil and God is not Evil....so No God cannot Hate if he's truly God.

Deuteronomy 16:22: "You shall not set up for yourself a sacred pillar which the LORD your God hates."
1 John 4:8: "The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love."
...and God promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

no ,God doesn't hate, he may be dissapointed but never hate. He teaches us a lesson when we do wrong, why else would He ask us to pray for our enemies as well as the ones we love. He is a forgiving God. He loves us no matter what.

Obviously if he's teaching discrimination of other religions. If God didn't hate there would be no christians involved in saving others(or as I'd like to call it telling them others they'll go to hell if they don't convert). What are we to be saved from a life of rational thinking????

No God does not hate, he hates sin, wickedness. He loves you very much that's why he sent his only begotten son to die on the cross for our sins so that we can be saved. God bless.

No.
Similar to parents, God will always love his children, but some of them may need to face consequences for their decisions and actions. He still loves them, though.

God hates sin and wickedness...He hates the sin not the sinner.
