Seriously, he hates anyone who doesn't believe in him, along with some (not all) of his followers. Whats with that? is he so insecure taht he can't take the idea that anyone would NOT believe in him? And why, if he is so loving, does he DAMN people for ETERNITY for stupid and human things. If he is god, then why does he punish such little offenses so harshly? Please tell me your excuses for him.

Its his followers that are the real problem. remember the bible was not written by Jesus but by people that claim to speak for him. it whould be like me writing a book about you when i barely know you at all.

That you think Jesus is insecure at all shows you do not know Jesus. That you think Jesus hates anyone at all shows that you do not know Jesus. He can 'take the idea' that there are people and angels who hate him,, as it is no skin off his nose,,, but the people who hate him are spiting their own noses. He does not Damn people for stupid and human things... you do not know Him. He does not punish little offenses either, in fact he came to earth to take the punishment himself for everyone's offenses, big and little. He needs no excuse.
I don't know where you got these ideas, but they are not true. It may be you that have heard some lies and become insecure yourself.
Jesus loves everyone, even Satan. But understand what the word 'Love' means, as it doesn't mean to approve of everything people do. People are not so much 'punished' as that they get the consequences of their actions. If you play with fire you're gonna get burned, and that is not a punishment, but a consequence. If you jump off a cliff, you are going to land hard on the ground below,,, that is not a punsishment but a consequence.
If you know that smoking is bad for you, and yet you smoke anyway,, emphysema and lung cancer are not punishments, but consequences. If you know that what God, and Jesus have taught us is best and yet you go against what is best,,, you get consequences... nobody goes to hell except people who have chosen it by their purposeful behavior. If God is Love, and I refuse to Love or accept Love, it is I that is choosing a life without Love and I get the consequences for that. If you read the Bible.. like 1 Corithians 13, and in many places in the New Testament,, Jesus teaches us to be patient with each other, and to forgive each other, and to love our enemies.
So it would be better if you forgot the lies you are now believing and learn the Truth.. read the New Testament of a Bible.

You must be getting your ideas about Jesus from Fundamentalists, or from TBN (Totally Blasphemous Network). Jesus doesn't need anyone to make any excuses for Him...but I'm thinking some of those folks will wish they had someone to make som excuses for them...when He comes to take His kids home.
Actually, Jesus doesn't hate anyone, nor does Jesus condemn anyone to be tortured through eternity. That sadistic notion got tossed into the mix much later.
Try doing a word search for "hell" in the OT. Substitute "grave" for every instance of the term "hell". If you realize that the story of Lazarus and the rich man is a **PARABLE**, and NOT literal, it will begin to make more sense to you.
But the best thing is to get to know Jesus for yourself. Don't take anyone's word for His character. Suppose everyone judged you on the words of Fundamentalist Christians??

These are no excuses. First, Jesus is GOD, and God is perfect. He did not damn people for stupid things, He gave them a chance and even if they rejected Him, He is always ready to welcome them back and forgive him. He does not hate those who do not believe in Him. God expects us to be perfect as He is perfect--that's from the Bible. "So be perfect just as your heavenly father is perfect." (Not sure of the verse there) He knows that we will make mistakes and will forgive us if we are truly sorry for what we have done and if we ask Him to forgive us. He loves everyone, even if they are the worst, most evil person in the world; He created that person. He is always waiting with open arms to forgive and take you home. Maybe you should ask Him for forgiveness and maybe you should take a closer look at the Bible and start to pray about your current feelings. God Bless!

First of all not everyone believes He's a GOD (only christians) and your acting like he's your roomate "insecure" that isn't a proper word to define a Prophet in heaven currently waiting to come back (Islamic belief)

How is that insecure? Being able to do whatever you want, whenever you want is a great amount of security.
People go to Hell because they are SINNERS. Jesus came and died for us so that we could go to Heaven instead. He doesn't ask for much in return, and He could have sat back in Heaven and just let us ALL go to Hell, so I don't see where you think He is harsh.

It's a choice we make if we follow jesus or not. He doesn't hate anyone, he is saddened by our wrong choices because he wants whats best for us.

Everytime somebody doesn't believe in Him, it puts a fart in His pancakes.
