Um, depending on the Christian, I suppose the answer will vary. I'd say sexual freedom. And I'd say I dislike this the most, however I won't say hate. I answer this because its causing disease to spread like wild fire.

I'd say all of these are a work of the devil, in its own way.

Wow, four of their biggest hates in one question. Well, women's rights should be left out since there are women preachers getting as rich as the men. Sexual freedom is out since the majority have been divorced or have had affairs. Science is out since they only disbelieve in evolution and the start of the universe. So the worst one must be freedom of speech since they do hate everyone who believes different than they do. But take heart Christians. The Muslims hate all four equally.

I do not hate 'science' because it can be used wonderfully to prove God as Creator of the universe.

I do not hate 'women's rights' because this is the result of men wanting to keep women under their thumbs for hundreds of years. Hmm, do men feel threatened by an intelligent and independent woman?...

I do not hate 'freedom of speech' because it is a wonderful instrument that can be used to be heard, although many have abused it and will continue to do so.

I do, as a Christian, dislike 'sexual freedom' however, because God meant for it to be practiced within the sanctity of marriage. It's abuse is what has led to all these sexually transmitted diseases, some without cures.

But I will not go running around spouting hateful things to people I do not know because, what will that do other than make people think I'm crazy and hateful? We are to practice Christ's example by hating the act, but loving the person, who still has a chance to be called by God.

The most spiritually advanced Christians I've known have tended not to hate anything or anybody, but stay focussed on the positive.

If you define "sexual freedom" to include unchastity, these Christians would tell you they love chastity very much, and that sin of any sort saddens them.

If you define "freedom of speech" to include reviling, slander, and blasphemy, these Christians would comment that God gave us the gift of speech to be used to bless, not to curse. How can we love that which is a misuse of a gift?

If by "Women's Rights", you want to get across the idea that males and females share an equal dignity, made in the image and likeness of God, these Christians would gladly agree with you. If, on the other hand, you include the taking of innocent unborn life, as a woman's right, my Christian friends would be saddened, and recall that all human life is sacred and to be protected.

And if by "Science", you intend to convey the study of the natural world and how it works, my Christian friends would speak admiringly of such Christians as Saint Albert the Great, who excelled at all the scientific disciplines of his time, and is considered one of the fathers of modern science even today. But if you use the term "Science" to suggest that nothing that cannot be perceived with the senses can be called real, then my Christian friends would say you have missed the boat on that one.

I don't hate any of those things.

My husband and I are free to do whatever we want to do sexually with each other and there is never any bad feelings, it is very freeing.
I believe everyone has the right to speak, but I also believe everyone has the right to not have to hear cussing and vile talk. It is a respect thing that all should give to each other, both speakers and hearers.
The only "christians" who treat their women like chattel are not Christians. My husband treats me as his equal and he loves me the way he is commanded to love me in the New Testament.
Science, I love science. Yes I understand scientific theory and regular laymans use of theory. I also realize that gravity is a scientific theory. However, it is also a proven fact. Evolution they can just say it is a scientific theory that has been through many tests and it is a real theory etc. etc. etc. but it is not a scientific fact. It can not be proven as fact.

Oregon Flower~ I do not hate those who insist on remaining ignorant. I hate sin, I do not hate the person. Christians are called to hate sin not people.

Why would Christians not want "freedom of speech, women's rights or science?" Those whom God sets free are free indeed, Jesus set women free and created science. Without God's creation what would science have to study.

Throughout the Bible, sexual freedom is not taught. God has absolute commandments concerning sexual matters and for being accountable for every idle word spoken.

What Christians hate is sin itself, because sin is disobedience to God. We love the sinner and we go out of our way to speak to the lost and unbeliever so they can know Christ and receive eternal life.

there is an extremely slippery slope right here such that if the arbiter of what's named "hate speech" is basically employing this large ability to silence the voice and seen people who basically disagree, it relatively is a destructive freedom that few human beings could willingly section with in the event that they understood its ramifications. Speech is basically the verbalization of one's recommendations so because it relatively is why the two are used extraordinarily much interchangeably in this context. For those tens of millions who go through as a results of fact they have a sensitivity to gluten-containing products, it relatively is a great deal offensive to furnish us cake that would reason us large discomfort and ailment.

All of the above. It's been done by Christians of hundreds of years. Science was even said to be work of the devil.

What is the definition of "freedom" and "rights"? Christians do not hate science. However required science in the classroom might be up for debate.

Christians don't "hate" anything viewing things through the Word of God, we just don't approve of the worldly views or conduct of the sinful human heart....It is ALL the work of the Devil... Although God is in total control, it is Satan who runs the world. Satan is referred to in the Bible as "the prince of the power of the air" for good reason. He spiritually influences humanity to reject God and God's law. Under Satan's influence, "the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so" (Romans 8:7, NIV).
