Answer 1

You are delusional, but the "TURTH" has always bothered me, I'll admit that...

lol
--------------------------------------
Edit: Besides, I don't hate the bible, I think its actually a pretty good work of fiction

Answer 2

Some don't know it at all. Some never read it.
The majority of the things that people hate about it is out of self-righteousness when they don't understand a scripture for what it really is such as the one above who thinks that a God of love would actually want people to throw their little ones against a crag or rocks when in reality, He was speaking of the churches of Babylon the Great! So ignorance of the deep truths it contains and of how everything is absolutely related and full of truths and wisdom from a God of love, wisdom, power and justice, who has inspired his servants to write it in such a manner that the reader must have a sincere desire to be educated by the true God, in spirit and truth, before he opens up the meanings of the words to them... If someone approaches it with a bad motive, they will only get more confused than they already were! Only with the help of his holy spirit does it become the book of absolute truths that set us free.

Answer 3

Hate what "turth?" (truth) People aren't "gullable" or "superstitious" as they were for thousands of years is "why." When you psychologically study all that is within the Old Testament, and alot of what is written with the New Testament it is pretty apparent that some thought too highly of their "intellect" to pull a fast one on mankind. Much of what is written was passed off as coming from a "SUPERIOR" entity and it worked for the better part of 29 centuries.,(Tanakh), UNTIL Champollion disciphered "hieroglyphics" in 1823. If you know religious history this cause alot of people to "reform" their beliefs from the norm, though over time much of this has been forgotten. New faiths began to sprout out of the woodwork back then. Rather than the Jewish word being thought of as coming from a "superior" God, people began to see it's "inferior" ways within these holy words, AND this has been slowly GROWING since.................Lies can not be taught as truth especially when the evidences can not be DENIED, and many exist within Egypt WRITTEN "thousands" of years BEFORE Judaism, that substantiate that the ancient Hebrews were a plageristic culture and borrowed history from other cultures to call it their own.......

Answer 4

I hate neither, but the bible has been changed and edited over the centuries to suit a particular opinion or enable some king or another to get his own way , so much so that it is no longer worthy of trust. It has caused hatred and disagreement even between christians and who is to say that one person's interpretation of it is right and another wrong? I don't hate the bible. I hate the hatred it has caused.

Answer 5

Because they look at it with blinded eyes, closed ears, and limited minds. The Bible states that the natural man will think it foolish and they do! They continue in this natural state they (we) are born in and remain in the dark, refusing therefore to follow the light (Jesus). Darkness hates the light, whether they are aware of this or not. It's an ignorance of God's Word thing, not necessarily a hate the bible per se thing.

Answer 6

So, the truth is that we are the result of two separate instances of inbreeding? That would have to be true if the Adam and Eve and Noah's Ark stories are true. The truth is that god's son was a zombie? Anyone who comes back to life after three days would be a zombie by any modern definition. Or a vampire. The truth is that magic is real? Then why do you people have a problem with witches? Come on, turning water into wine is clearly magic. The list could go on, but what would be the point? The Bible is a book written by men to subjugate others. Sad that you can't see this. But, if you want to be a sheep, please continue. I'll choose freedom. I don't hate the Bible. It's an amusing tale of contradictions and clearly false stories. It's like it was written by the Brother's Grimm.

Answer 7

I can speak from first hand experience. When I grew up, I hated church because it was boring. I hated religion because it got in the way of my behavior. To make matters worse, I used terms like "Holy Rollers" for people that had good faith and trounced on those people when there was an iota of scandalous gossip about them.
The weak minded thing was to look for many ways to denounce religion and the bible. Thankfully, I met the right people at the right time. Hopefully, I can complete my journey and become a man of strong will and faith.

Answer 8

I don't know, but I have found out that they are obsessed with it. I have seen more critical people on this site of god and the Bible than I have ever on any other sites.
A lot of them must have came in contact with a lot of people that call themselves Christians and got stabbed in the back.
There are a lot of so-called Christians out there that do a lot of damage.
I would just like to let them and everyone know that all who say they are Christians aren't necessarily Christians.
I know I am not perfect and when my parents raised me in a the Church I saw people that was singing, saying Amen, Hallelujah, and in the streets was doing all kinds of things I would never dream of doing.
so early in life I said I didn't want anything to do with this stuff, everyone was hypocrites. Then a true friend and Christian led me to the Lord Jesus Christ, and I found out that even the hypocrites needed love too and they couldn't find it among the friends on the street for that wasn't working, because his friends would not tolerate his back biting ways. The Church and true Christians accept you just as you are, no matter what.

Answer 9

The bible was written in an era that people needed help with rulers that had no regard to human life.People in that era needed direction. We now live in a different era that those ideas are very primitive. Dont get me wrong there are some good lessons, for example, thou shall honor your mother and father, but other things are outdated and wont work today. You can see it everyday...your grandmother will have different ideas than yours, why because they are from a different era.

Answer 10

Could it be because it promotes the degradation of women, treats homosexuals like they're slime, talks about a talking snake, people living to be 900 years old, a talking burning bush, a talking donkey, the birth of a man who's the son of a god by immaculate conception of a virgin woman whose husband (who she supposedly didn't have sex with in a time when no man would ever have not taken his rights as a husband) forgave her for being pregnant by another man (because no matter how much you love someone, how stupid are you going to be if they tell you "I got pregnant by immaculate conception"?), a stick turns into a snake, a sea parts, water is turned into wine, a man walks on water, a man rises from the dead... and that only barely scratches the surface of all the fantasy in that ancient book.

Think about it.

Answer 11

I don't know. But no I wouldn't say it is because they hate the truth, I would say because they do not think it is truth. They are men of the darkness and do not recognize the light because the truth is not in them. It is natural for them to hate the light.
