I wish I knew. Sorry thesaintman, there's too many reasons out there to number them. To many excuses to reason. But it takes strength or maturity to love someone you have an issue with. And depending on the issue it might be more strength for one person to do, but they still do, while others have no reason and hate anyways. Man I wish I knew why too.
 
It's not all rationalized that loving is good and hating is bad though. God has given much direction to hate what is evil throughout the bible. And that is something to keep in mind with considering a person who's fierce anger towards something is thought of a a good thing. Paul before Jesus commissioned him to be a Christian and to spread the gospel stood against Christians to the degree of seeking them out for them to be killed. I'm sure he thought his hatred to Christians was a sign of his dovotion against what is evil.

But still we need to give weight to Jesus's teachings to love your neighbor and love your enemy. And for nonbelievers to be able to recoginize us for our love for one another. If we can hold on to these we hopefully will not hate anyone.
 
just wondering
There are so many haters because the devil promotes hatred.
Hatred leads to rage.
Rage leads to murder.
Jesus told those who hated Him: (Jhn 8:44) You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

But those who seek to please God: (1Jo 4:16 ) So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

iakov the fool
 
do we give the devil credit for all bad things? granted he is the author or should we take responsibility for our actions .the works of the flesh is hate .granted the opposite of God is hate . for God is love. but i will admit i have a hard time understanding all the hate. everything on the news is hatred . jesus said in john 16 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world..
1 John 4:20King James Version (KJV)
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
 
maybe they do not know better.
These kind of people, for some! , but we that knows better, need to let them know what is the best for them, instead of feeling sorrow for them that don't want to know, they must learn just like we that know better to follow the Lord steps.
 
Yes. It will Always be this way.
Broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it.
Satan has most convinced he doesn't even exist.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15.
14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
