It is fundamentally a spiritual issue. Imperfect as they are, God chose them for a purpose and put His mark on them. Since they are a reminder of God and we are all born haters of God we will hate those who represent Him.
Now this is a very broad brush explaination of some foundatinal theological issues. People will hate true Christians for the same reason.
” Since they are a reminder of God and we are all born haters of God we will hate those who represent Him.”
We are all born haters of God? What do you base that on?
Well said!
