Jesus never fought, said anything he regreted to another or even thought bad thoughts about others. Why do people hate these actions that he portrayed?

Because they live in darkness and the darkness hates the Light. Jesus is the Light of the world, and all who are in the darkness will hate him.

The people in question don't actually hate Jesus. What they hate is when Christians constantly try to shove their religion onto them. You are assuming that the truth of your religion is apparent to everyone, like the truth that 2 +2 = 4. However, this is most certainly NOT the case. You have chosen to become a Christian. You have chosen to believe what you believe. Others choose to believe differently, and no one on this Earth can say who is right or who is wrong. If someone could, then everyone would believe the same thing. (No one disbelieves that 2 + 2 = 4. If your religion were that obvious, everyone would be Christian).
People resent being told that their beliefs are wrong are stupid. Just as you resent people who "hate jesus". What you have to ask yourself is what are you doing that is offensive to non-christians?
In short, people who "hate Jesus" don't really hate Jesus. They just get irritated by his followers.

Jesus is probably a myth made up by a lot of people who didn't like the Roman empire. And even if he's not, who cares? If you're an atheist like me then all the god stuff he did is bunk. Why not focus on the fact that YOU and other Christians have likely stopped doing good works, instead?
We don't hate Jesus; that's not worth the effort. We hate the intolerance of religion, of ALL religions.

Actually, this is a rather insightful question. You're saying something the church has taught you to think: that people who reject Christianity are Bad Guys. Like, if an atheist were approached by Jesus with a miraculous message of love, he'd say, "I hate you," and kick him in the groin. *snort* No, he'd just become Christian. Duh. Same guy, different belief system. The only difference is where he's been, what he's seen.
Only Christians think people hate Jesus.
Everyone else thinks he was a Ghandi-like figure. Even Satanists. Good guy, just not a deity.
Now, there's a lot of resentment at the CHURCH... but hell, even Christians can see that sometimes.

I think it's really telling how the only people who buy this premise are evangelicals. You folks are the problem with Christianity. People don't hate Jesus, they hate YOU. If YOU were more like Jesus, instead of befouling the air around him with your hypocrisy, there wouldn't be so much anger directed toward Christianity.
You're not the oppressed. You are the fortunate who pretend poverty, the fat who cry when a dying man is given bread, the very ones who scoffed at Jesus the first time, the ones who looked to the Bible to justify slavery and genocide. In short, you're assholes.
I'm looking forward to the smell of burning self-righteousness come the Judgment Day.

it seems to me that the people who hate Jesus the most are Christians. Jesus preached love and forgiveness, most Christians seem to spout hate, malice and self-righteousness. Jesus said he was not here to change the law but to preserve it, but Christians would rather take the easy route and believe saint Paul. if you really love Jesus get circumcised, have your sabbath on Friday and don't eat pork. Jesus said so, to disobey him is demonstrating more hate than any criticism

i'm no longer a Christian yet i have examine the recent testomony and browse plenty about it, and that i imagine i'll respond to that. people have some undesirable stuff in them. i do not trust it truly is 'unique sin', i imagine it truly is basically human nature. Greed, selfishness, self-righteousness, etc. etc. Jesus tried to coach people to conquer those issues. yet they're very reliable. various people of religion, no longer basically Christians yet -any- faith, use their faith no longer to assist them get over their self-centeredness yet to justify and toughen it. i'm no longer non secular yet i trust faith is specially a sturdy ingredient. besides the undeniable fact that it may't be denied that it has a depressing part. For millenia, from a time lengthy before Jesus, it truly is been used to split the 'in crew' from the 'out crew'. people have used it to justify a concept that they were more desirable proper finally for believing what the believed, deserving of particular interest or particular privilege. It has also been used to toughen political means. in reality, before Abraham this replaced into the well-known objective of religion, to empower the king or the political administration. as a lot as basically a pair centuries in the past there replaced into an basically about common concept that our leaders were picked with the help of God, for this reason to disagree with or criticize the chief might want to get you on God's undesirable part. Our American republic replaced into depending in great area to get rid of this theory, yet amazingly many people nevertheless look to favor to trust it. i have had -many- Christians tell me that God were given fascinated with Florida in 2000 to placed GW Bush contained in the White homestead. it is the way you get Christians to advise violence and genocide and such issues as that. It occurred contained in the Crusades and the Inquisition. Human nature hasn't replaced a lot in view that then, nor curiously have political ethics.

Jesus himself answered that. John 3:19,20,21 says " And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God".
In this passage "light" refers to Jesus. Christ was talking about himself in that passage. Notice , it says "everyone that does evil hates the light". That's why they hate Jesus.

Who hates Jesus? He was a religious leader who died long ago.
People are confused about his teachings as we have no original works of his to go by. Only the words of his followers written long after he died. Actually, many of us atheist wonder why his followers seem so to do the opposite of what Jesus preached. First on that list is don't judge others...
