It doesn't make sense because Jesus said we should loves others as we love ourselves.

Please, please, please do not generalise. I absolutely do NOT hate other races. In fact, I preach against prejudices of ANY kind...

I AM a Christian... I don't just call myself a Christian.
If you're going to "talk the talk" you better be sure you "walk the walk".
In the past I had my prejudices, and I realized that the closer I was around those of different races, the less different they were to me, and my prejudice faded.
The source of prejudice is fear, and fear comes from the unknown. Get to know people from other races, and that fear subsides, along with the prejudice.
If I catch myself thinking along a prejudical line, I ask myself "how well do you know this person...how much do you know of their culture?" Then, I strive to get to know them. It's awesome!
If we were all alike, life would have no flavor. That's why God created us so differently. He thinks of everything.

I'm a Christian. I'm human. I try not to hate anybody. I can't think of anyone that I hate.
There are many THINGS that I hate though...
I hate thievery. But if my child stole something from me, it doesn't mean that I would hate him. I would still love him very much, and I would still hate the thievery.
It's OK to hate what people do or believe, but not OK to hate the person. God created us all equally. We are all precious and valuable souls.

The first part if NOT true... the second part is true (Jesus did say we could love others as we love ourselves)

Might as well ask, Why do some people call themselves Christian/Jewish/Muslim and still embezzle, do drugs, cheat on taxes, etc.
The answer is, even though they call themselves something, it does not make them that thing unless they live it...they are liars in other words.

Just because people may call themselves Christians, does not mean that they are.
Not everyone who says they are Christian really are.
And as it says in Matt. 7:21
Mat 7:21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Did he really..did you hear him say that..or get it from a bible made by men for men. And how many people do you know who really love themselves...really..I fear its far fewer than we all think. Good luck to you...just live a good and happy life and be good to others.

I guess that people always tend to hate things they're afraid of or can't understand. So every one that hates other people based on their colour, sex, religion or something even more stupid is a complete idiot.

You're right. It isn't Christ-like to be prejudice. Unfortunately we are all sinners and have fallen short of being Christ-like.
Luckily you and I aren't prejudice and love everyone . . . right?

Christians hate others least, Muslims hate everyone, including Shi'ites<> sunnis.
