Hello, thank you for asking this question, I can't help but to reply this posting to let you know that: No!! God doesn't hate you, God loves you very very much!! Bible says God is love.
I have been a Christian for a few years, and I have personally experience God's love and forgiveness in a very real and tangible way, it is beyond words, touching the deepest part of my soul.
He is real, I remember the years when I begin to believe in Him, I realise that He is like a real person, knowing all my thoughts, my actions. He sends people to cheer me up when I'm down, or miraculously turn bad situtation to good when I am in total despair. Bible says God is our Loving Heavenly Father who cares for us.
May I apologise for the hurt other christians have caused to you? I believe some of them are trying to tell you a truth, but did it inappropriately. This is what we want people to know:
All man has sinned by nature. And because of our sinful nature, we are spiritualy dead. We don't know who is God, what is God, we don't know God. But God in his great love and compassion is wanting to reach out to human and tell them "Hey people, I am the God who created you, I want you to know me and I want to love you and give you everlasting hope!"
So God sends His son Jesus, to come in the form of human, died on the cross to pay the price for our sin. God says, for everyone who believe Jesus Christ died for their sin, their sins are counted as removed, cleansed, no more!! :) Therefore, they are spiritually renewed and they can begin to know God and grow in relationship with Him.
Isn't it awesome?? And, bible promises that all who believe in God will be called sons and daughters of God.
I don't know who you are, but God does, He says in the bible that even the number of your hair, he knows. He saw your unformed body in your mother's womb. You are beautifully and wonderfully made, in the image of God.
If this message has touched you, I encourage you to repeat the following prayer. "Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you for your love for me, that you have wonderfully created me. I know that I have done wrong things that displease you. Today I ask for your forgivessness. I also thank you for dying for me on the cross for the forgiveness of my sin. Today I open my heart and ask you to come into my life to be my personal Lord and Saviour, and help me to know you more and grow in You.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen"
This prayer is not magic, but if you mean it sincerely, God sees it and will answer you. And your name will be written in the book of life. Those whose name are found in the book of life are people who will have eternal life in heaven.
I hope that from my words, I am sincerely wanting you to be blessed.
I really hope that you will open up your heart and call out to Him, He will surely reach out to you.

We are called to judge actions, not the person. I know it is the unbelievers favorite passage from Scripture "do not judge", and of course, they take it out of context for their own benefit. We are called to not judge lest we be judged by the same measure. Meaning, if I were a drug addict and told someone else they were wrong for using drugs, I would be judged by that same standard, I would be hypocritical. If I would say to killer, it is wrong to murder, I would have no problem be judged by the same standard since I am not a murderer. God has set standards of behavior in the Scriptures, He has clearly stated what is sin. Say you were crossing a street and were oblivious to a truck heading towards you, would it be judgmental of me to tell you to stop, get out of the street? Or should I just let you go since you may not believe the truck is actually there or that the truck cannot harm you.
As for all religions (by the way, Christianity is not a religion) about love, respect and not judging, have you checked out Islam recently?

People are people and people make mistakes.
Jesus does not.
Joh 3:16 "For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
Joh 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

These people are misguided and seeking to score points for themselves. In the process they actually drive people away from the church. No doubt if their God does exist they will have an awful lot to answer for on judgement day. Won't they be disappointed to find themselves in such a hot place with all that fire around them!!!
