He died to become a martyr, and that's exactly what he became. It didn't do anything for us.

While I dislike that particular character, I don't "hate and revile" it.
To clarify, there is no evidence to support the existence of the one known as Jesus Christ (or the other names people claim were Jesus for that matter), outside of the bible. Not one single eyewitness account, nor contemporary writing (which is odd, considering the stir that Jesus caused, according to the bible). No archeological evidence...nothing.
Why would anyone hate a fictional character?

Well, first you'd have to believe that Jesus bled and died for us.
I think you'll find very few people who will say "I hate Jesus."
It's more like "I don't believe in Jesus whatsoever."

Too many quick decisions without any investigation !!!
God's Love Is Revealed in the Bible
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." —John 3:16 (NIV)
God loves you. He wants to bless your life and make it full and complete. And He wants to give you a life which will last forever, even after you experience physical death.
We Are Sinful
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." —Romans 3:23 (NIV)
You may have heard someone say, "I'm only human—nobody's perfect." This Bible verse says the same thing: We are all sinners. We all do things that we know are wrong. And that's why we feel estranged from God—because God is holy and good, and we are not.
Sin Has a Penalty
"For the wages of sin is death." —Romans 6:23 (NIV)
Just as criminals must pay the penalty for their crimes, sinners must pay the penalty for their sins. If you continue to sin, you will pay the penalty of spiritual death: You will not only die physically; you will also be separated from our holy God for all eternity. The Bible teaches that those who choose to remain separated from God will spend eternity in a place called hell.
Christ Has Paid Our Penalty!
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." —Romans 5:8 (NIV)
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, has paid the penalty for all your sins. You may think you have to lead a good life and do good deeds before God will love you. But the Bible says that Christ loved you enough to die for you, even when you were rebelling against Him.
Salvation Is a Free Gift
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." —Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
The word grace means "undeserved favor." It means God is offering you something you could never provide for yourself: forgiveness of sins and eternal life, God's gift to you is free. You do not have to work for a gift. All you have to do is joyfully receive it, Believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ died for you!
Christ Is at Your Heart's Door
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." —Revelation 3:20 (NIV)
Jesus Christ wants to have a personal relationship with you. Picture, if you will, Jesus Christ standing at the door of your heart (the door of your emotions, intellect and will). Invite Him in; He is waiting for you to receive Him into your heart and life.
You Must Receive Him
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." —John 1:12 (NIV)
When you receive Christ into your heart you become a child of God, and have the privilege of talking to Him in prayer at any time about anything. The Christian life is a personal relationship to God through Jesus Christ. And best of all, it is a relationship that will last for all eternity

Part of being unique is holding to your beliefs despite the beliefs of others.

I have no objection to Jesus. It's people who can't use grammar correctly that annoy me.

Who are you talking about? I don't dislike Jesus, I just hate his stupid followers. If you're talking about Jews/Muslims, they don't hate him, they just don't think he's the son of God/God

Some people do because He expects us to think of others before ourselves, and that just isn't "cool" in today's selfish world.

Those people are lost and they don't have a clue about reality until someone teaches them.
