No. Proper Christians do not hate anyone. But it is very difficult to decide what or who counts as a "proper Christian". The Bible can be used as a cover for individuals to mask their own hatred and claim that they are merely "following The Bible". But reading the Bible and following it are both selective activities. The reader chooses to value the Bible, and to give it special importance. Likewise, the reader decides which passages in the Bible matter and which he wants to agree with and follow. Few Christians really follow what it says in the Bible, because if they did, they would have to do all kinds of crazy things that no longer make sense in the modern world. So, one way to know whether someone is following the teaching of Jesus, as opposed to the Pharisaic legalist tradition of hypocrisy and authoritarianism, is to listen to whether they actually quote what Jesus said in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. If they only quote Paul and John, they are false Christians.
