Yes there are things and even some people that God hates. I hope that you are not one of them.
Psa 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Wise men believe in God. And God hates sinners.
Psa 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good.
Psa 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
This means that the Lord "tests the faith" of the righteous in order to make it stronger. But He hates evil and violent men.
GBY!
Pro 6:16 ¶ These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:
Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19 A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Yeah, that's a good question. Yes, there are some things that God hates. See also Proverbs 6:16-19 and Hosea 9:15. I'm not going to try to explain everything about God because clearly how can the mortal describe the immortal, the imperfect know the perfect? Maybe the following will help.
Psalm 5:5: "The arrogant cannot stand in your presence;
you hate all who do wrong."
Psalm 11:5: The LORD examines the righteous,
but the wicked [a] and those who love violence
his soul hates.
"God both loves and hates. His nature is love (1 John 4:8), but He is also righteous (Psalm 7:9) and holy (Isaiah 6:3). The very fact that He does not incinerate all of humanity for its sin against Him is due to his loving kindness. God doesn't owe anyone anything. We are sinners and as such, we have offended Him because we have broken His laws -- and His laws are a reflection of His character. But, God in His great mercy, sent His Son to die for our sins so that we might have eternal life by receiving Christ as Savior (John 1:12; Rom. 10:9-10).
Does God hate? Yes. Does God love? Yes. This is not a contradiction. This is simply the truth."

God is a God of infinite justice. If God did not avenge and carry out justice then some of the most wicked, vile people who lived will have gotten away with their crimes scott-free; people like Judas, Hitler, Ben-Laden, Manson, Ted Bundy, serial killers and rapists, etc. God hates such people and He will give justice to their victims:
Psalm 94:12,13 - Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

Romans 9:
13. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

he hates sin which includes sin in people (sin can be forgiven of course) (psalm 5:5)
he extremely dislikes people that enjoy sinning because he cant be in their presence (he cannot be in the presence of sin) and never ask for forgivness but as soon as they do (if they ever do) he is overjoyed because he can be in their presence (psalms11:5)

They seem rather straight forward. People who do bad things and refuse to repent...they are not liked by God. Why should He? They have chosen to willfully hurt others. Why is this a problem?

God doesn't hate people.
God is a fictitious being, a superstition. He'd have to exist, first, before he could have any emotions.

ALL gods are false... if God were real he must hate people - look at 3rd World countries! And our bodies are so imperfect - we get sick all the time and there are billions of different ways we can die (most extremely painful).
