Yes, but that doesn't stop the Christians.
As a matter-of-fact, they go out of their way to hate and demoralize.
Ironic, huh?

Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner.

The Bible tells us to hate what is bad, and also tells us what is bad in God's eyes. Read Psalm 97:10 However, if you believe that we are all ancestors of the first human couple, as the Bible teaches, then hating our brothers or sisters would not be good. Hating the evil that men do is not a sin. Hating each other , that is a sad situation that is more and more common as we move on through this present system of things. However, it is a situation which the god of this world likes. Read 1John 5:19b..."the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." That one loves us to hate each other.

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

Is it a sin to hate what? A person--absolutely. We are not to hate, but rather love. On the other hand, we are not committing a sin when we hate a particular activity or object. God hates idols (Deuteronomy 16:22). God also hates many activities, such as homosexuality, and all sexual immorality; idol worship, and many others. God cannot sin, therefore hate of that nature is not a sin. On the other hand, a person who hates another person is wandering around in the darkness and lost (I John 2:9-11)

Obviously not, the Bible is full of hate, and the biggest and best example was God's hate for mankind. For example.
God is the greatest mass murderer in history.
References: Genesis 6:11-17 and Genesis 7:11-24
Some examples:
GE 6:13 - And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
GE 6:17 - And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Seems to me that God (for believers) is annoyed with humanity other than his buddy Noah, and decides to kill (murder) every living thing on the face of the earth, except of course Noah and his family - got to have a few friends left.
Religious people sadly interpret the above action as love, but I think most intelligent people realise that religious people suffer from mental illness.

If God is love, then yes. Hate is a sin.

I don't know about calling it a sin, but it's certainly unhealthy for you. I try to let go of my hatred as often as possible, so I can focus my positive energy on friends I care about, and activities I enjoy.
