christians believe the world is evil, and Satan runs it, and the world isnt worth saving, but wasnt it God that made the world, therefore arent christians hating God when they hate nature and the world we live in?

We don't hate nature. We love the sinner but hate the sin. And it is not the Earth we don't love. It is all the sins that the people do. All the folks against God and speak it so others turn against Him. We are all his children, Christian or not, Imagine if your child treated you the way people treat their creator. I can't blame God for wanting to destroy us. If He was not made up of 100% love He would reign holy terror on us long time ago. Praise the Lord for grace!!!

Why do you think Christians hate nature? What do you base your info on? How many Christians do you know? Do they all tell you they hate nature? I really would love to know where you got this idea. We believe the world belongs to God, Satan is just ruler over the world system for the moment. We love nature just not more than God.

God made the world.
When people sinned, the world fell under the curse.
Christians don't hate nature; they just acknowledge that someday God will remove the curse and provide a new heaven and a new earth. Christians long for that time, but they see God at work even in this fallen world.

You will see this statement many times today I think......This is a stupid question!!
Christians DO NOT hate nature! Why would you even say such a thing? I think that the lost hate nature since they have such LITTLE regard for the creator of all things and are so busy trying to make everything about evolution, negating the need for GOD, or they are spending their time bashing HIM and those who believe in HIM.
I don't see how you can look at nature, see it's beauty even thought the earth is now under a curse, and NOT believe in GOD.

Who says Christians hate nature? Who says that the world is not worth saving? What are you even talking about?

The word "world" in the Bible has two meanings.
Meaning 1 - "For God so loved the world that he gave his onlly begotten son...." Here the word "world" means the people in the world. God loves the people in the world, so he provided a way for salvation through Jesus Christ. This is not talking about the physical earth, the trees, animals, oceans, etc. This is not talking about nature.
Meaning 2 -
John 7:7
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
John 17:15
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Galatians 1:4
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
In the three scriptures above the word "world" means the systems in the world, the philosophy of the world, the values of the world. For example in Christianity it is not okay to kill your unborn child, but the world might say it is okay. The Bible does not condone same sex marriage, but the world might say it is okay. Again the use of world in this meaning is not nature, or the scientific principles therein.

Dear, you've been misinformed.
Christians don't believe that nature is evil, or that the world isn't worth saving...we believe that the Creator will make all things new.
We do believe that there are evil people in the world, and some of those evil people are working hard to destroy God's creation....

I don't know where you get your information but Christians, myself included, do not hate nature.
Think about it. Every tree, every flower, every herb, every grain of sand, every star in the sky, every fish in every sea or ocean or lake or river, every animal running free,.....all of these and much more are examples of God's handiwork.
What we hate is the sinful nature of Man - not Nature.
The difference is that all men and women are capable of sinning. Jesus paid the price so that you can be saved from your sins if you believe in Him as your Redeemer and ask to be forgiven of those sins.

You don't even know what Christians believe.
We do not hate nature, but we do not worship nature.
The scriptures tell us to worship the creator and not the created.
We do however consider our flesh nature to be sinful, so we teach that you have to deny self so that you do not sin.
As to the world we live in, we are taught to be separated from the world, since the world does not believe in God.
None of the things hurt anyone.
So we should be free to exercise our beliefs.
