Let me mention just a few verses from the Old Testament and New Testament and tell me what do you say about them:
“When the LORD your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you. And when the LORD your God delivers them before you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them. (Deutronomy 7:1-2)
“When you approach a city to fight against it, you shall offer it terms of peace. If it agrees to make peace with you and opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall become your forced labor and shall serve you. However, if it does not make peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. When the LORD your God gives it into your hand, you shall strike all the men in it with the edge of the sword. Only the women and the children and the animals and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as booty for yourself; and you shall use the spoil of your enemies which the LORD your God has given you… Only in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes (Deuteronomy 20:10-17)
Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)
Even in the New Testament we read the following statements attributed to Jesus saying to his disciples:
“I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence. (Luke 19:26-27)
"Do not think that I have come to send peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword. I am sent to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law" (Matthew 10:34-35)

YES these verses actually come from the bible! No trying to excuse it away. The sad thing is people dont want to listen, and they teach thier kids to hate because the bible teaches it.

I'm not sure that what you have documented is hate so much as a self serving justification for genocides. Some people may see this as a fine distinction. Unfortunately, the Bible is half full of this sort of writing, although in fairness that's not all that is in it. I simply cannot understand how people can deny this, and yet claim to have read the texts.
Humans have found ways of justifying genocides for as long as we have existed as a species. We simply cannot continue to do this any longer.

Short answer: OF COURSE it does. Just look around.
Longer answer: There's so much nonsense in the Bible (it's nonsense now, maybe it made some sense in the time and country it was written) it can be used to justify anything: slavery, genocide, fear of the color orange, not walking on your left foot on Thursdays, etc.
So while it is sometimes used to support beneficial behavior, historically--and currently--people have used it to spread hatred as well.

Well if you are going to insist on the "christian bible" then you have to stick to the new testament, weren't any Christians before Christ. the first quote from the new testament, I believe, is a story or parable. and the second is speaking of the strife caused when a family member becomes a christian and the family wants to stop them.

the Christan bible does not preach hate but highlights expecialy when talking text of the Israelites. especially in the old testament. but the new testament is when Jesus came into this world to preach love and understanding of the father and humanity

OK, I guess god should have wrote that war should not occur. Let your enemies slaughter you and drive you off your land. America shouldnt have fought Japan and Germany, and we shouldnt have declared independance from Britian. What kind of god would that be?

christians holy book is 'BIBLE' , hindus holy book is 'BHAGAVAT GEETA' an muslims holy book is 'QURAN'. if u read all thesebooks u will find a similar things.they preach about god , truth and sucsess.but till now no book has been written which would preach the hatred.the word kill does not mean exactly killing.it says to kill the darkness in the human that has deeprooted in somepeople.holy books never preach hate.god is one.

it doesn't teach you to hate , you just pick out certain verses , read the whole bible and you'll understand it better, like in matthew if you read on down its telling you don't put nothing before him , not your family, not anything

Well no... Romans 12v. 20 On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."
