Why do so many "christian" conservatives hate so many people. (stats, free speech)

It cant work both ways but that seems to be how the bible goes. You can defend any side of any situation with quotes. See this too is in the bible.

You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". But I say to you, do not resist an evildoer. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Matthew 5:38–39, NRSV)

the bible also says:

• DEUTERONOMY 22:13-21
  If it is discovered that a bride is not a virgin, the Bible demands that she be executed by stoning immediately.
• DEUTERONOMY 22:22
  If a married person has sex with someone else's husband or wife, the Bible commands that both adulterers be stoned to death.
• MARK 10:1-12
  Divorce is strictly forbidden in both Testaments, as is remarriage of anyone who has been divorced.
• LEVITICUS 18:19
  The Bible forbids a married couple from having sexual intercourse during a woman's period. If they disobey, both shall be executed.
• MARK 12:18-27
  If a man dies childless, his widow is ordered by biblical law to have intercourse with each of his brothers in turn until she bears her deceased husband a male heir.
• DEUTERONOMY 25:11-12
  If a man gets into a fight with another man and his wife seeks to rescue her husband by grabbing the enemy's genitals, her hand shall be cut off and no pity shall be shown her.

we can go on and on to find individual pieces that will support abortion, gay marriage, slavery etc.

Nice cherry pick of the scriptures. If you want the whole scripture in context read below. If you just want to twist it the way you like continue on. I love the way Christian haters try to justify their hate.

MARK 12:18-27
If a man dies childless, his widow is ordered by biblical law to have intercourse with each of his brothers in turn until she bears her deceased husband a male heir.

Are you just ignorant of the scriptures or just have that much hate? Remember hate crimes against religous people are up 9%.

18Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 19"Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and have children for his brother. 20Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23At the resurrection[a] whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?"
24Jesus replied, "Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 26Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'[b]? 27He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"

Christ loved everyone. The poorest, the outcasts, lepers, whores.


So why??

The current rightwing mouthpieces peddle fear, anger and intolerance to an audience that drinks it up. And they wield Jesus like a revolver.

Nowadays, the pinnacle of far right patriotism is to hate your fellow Americans.

Well you mentioned illegal immigrants in your op. By this inclusion I can only assume that if someone broke into your home in the middle of the night that you would bake him cookies and declare him a part of the family?

I await, but do not expect, your reply.

I understand that some people respond based solely on emotion, but disagreement on an issue does not equal hate for most.

It's also for this reason they tend to reject religion on principle.

Jesus loved everyone.. Actually people reject religion because they think for themselves and see through the mind control

We should ALL be Christlike, Christians or not. It has nothing to do with religion, but being humane.

nothing about religion....christ as a human being was a great person, like Gandhi , the dalai lama, MLK, just good humans regardless of religion.

Jesus did not start a religion.

Yes, it's a weak argument

the key being I was a part......I have opened my own eyes now

Thank you......this is another tactic. Just throw things out there and hope someone believes it.....just like conservative talk shows and politicians.
