I don't hate fictional characters.
That would be dumb.

Assuming, for the sake of argument, that the character known as Jesus (as depicted in the writings later cobbled together to form the canonical New Testament) was an historical person, there is plenty to dislike, beginning with the supremely egotistical statement.

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s foes will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it."
Matthew 10:34-39 (RSV)

Better had he never come at all!

I would first have to acknowledge that Jesus was a real person. I don't.

We should never hate the deluded true believers of any religious ideology. We should hate the people with twisted minds and ulterior motives who create and push the perverted religious ideology.

Why would you hate a totally made up inexisting literary character? Do you hate Dracula? Do you hate Hannibal Lecter? Or the Godfather?

"As a person"? Huh?

We should not hate unicorns also, and for the same reason.

Uuummm, do you hate The Easter Bunny too? Just sayin'.......

Hating christ is like hating zombies or bigfoot. They don't exist; nothing to hate.

First demonstrate that Christ actually existed then we'll talk about the rest of it.

There is no evidence that Jesus actually existed. He was a fictional character based upon other legends that preceded Christianity. To call him "Christ" would imply that you believe in him. A Christian who is not certain in the existence of God. Barely an agnostic. I'm an Atheist but I don't cast aspersions on others. I don't like intolerance whether it comes from religious or atheists. Live and let live.

No need to hate anything or judge anyone. Enjoy each moment of conscious awareness and bask in its mysterious miraculous glory.

“We should despise, however,...”

No thanks.

I don't "hate Christ"...I just do not believe he was the son of a deity nor that the deity itself actually existed. In short, all made-up bull shit.

Ya know what I hate ? When the word "should" is randomly applied to all readers ...

Many here don't believe that a christ-person even existed anyway. So there's that.

It's not really been proved Jesus was real.
I've always challenged the actual, historical truth of the jesus mythology. The similarities as you study the progression of religions in that area is telling...

@Aristippus, IF, and that is one MASSIVE if btw, there ever was a Hebrew born in the Judea-Galilee region ( NOT Israel since Israel ONLY existed post WWII) of the Eastern Mediterranean region then,
A) he would NOT have borne the name 'Christ' along with his first name, since the name/title of 'Christ' is derived from the Greek term 'Kristos' and NOT a Hebrew word/title at all,
B) there are ABSOLUTELY NO written records from the times in question that this Jesus of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem, ever existed in the first place, other than those supposedly written some 300+ years AFTER his death by some 40 Scribes, separated by miles and miles of land and seas on 3 different Continents., i.e. Asia Minor, Africa and Europe as the known world was at the time btw,
C) ONLY 2 or, at a stretch, 3 of those supposed Apostles were actually literate and could actually read and write, so HOW could an Illiterate, Galilean Fisherman have written anything at all as is purported by the bible?
Yes, everything about the 3 Abrahamic based religions IS 110% pure and unadulterated BULLSHIT so despising the root source of this odium is as reasonable as it is to despise root cause of the stench of the fresh dog turd that you unknowingly stepped in and is now stuck to sole of your shoe.

Which part of the philosophy? Loving other people sounds okay, actually, even though "love thy neighbor as thyself" is an impossible ideal. "Go and sin no more" isn't bad, it means forgiveness for past offenses- but then again, was the "sin" of adultery really such a sin? I don't hold sexual morality that big a deal as the ancient Hebrews did.

The bit about coming back to life after you die, though, that's just mythology, or else the words of a raving nutter.

To be honest the post sounds like a rejected lover who is just saying that the Christians and Moslems are really naughty and should be sat on the naughty step for a while.

I can’t imagine why you bring up Archimedes, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and Darwin. They are irrelevant with regard to living in C21st Cuckoo land.

Besides, Jesus is the fictitious third person that the authors need to speak and act their ideas through, like Hamlet or Harry Potter. When we realise that Jesus is a device, that the gospels are not biography, they come alive with a snapshot of the challenges faced by a C1st apocalyptic world under occupation by an external ruling force.

We just need to nullify the religious connotations and read for the joy of reading, not pull it apart expecting a mystical solution

Jesus Christ is not a figure found in historic records of the era that the bible claims, he is a religious construct and nothing more. Therefore the logic here is circular, Christ is a construct of the very religion(s) that use him to persecute and enslave others.

Add to what's in the video that so much of what he preached was not to make life better in this world, but in order to gain favor and reward in an after-life.

Why the heck would I hate someone I don’t believe in .And even if he once existed he was probably a magician who fooled Gullible people and in this case I would dislike him for this reason .

Hating a person who probably didn't exist, at least as portrayed, isn't reasonable. Most fictional heroes are loved for the principles they espouse and great deeds they perform. It is the stuff of great fiction and even better soap operas.

Jesus was not the only Christ even if he was a historical person. Christ means anointed, the kings of the Hebrews were anointed, during the times of the Jewish war several arose claiming as the Messiah but they were killed by the Romans. Jesus the Christ is a fabricated fiction.

You have to weigh the good against the bad. From my perspective the good far outweighs the bad, the best people i've known in life have all been Christian.
