Why does people have a problem with?

Question

Before you Atheist start to down me and leave negative comments please read all the way through..

Why do so many people have an Issue with Jesus?

I can understand the problem that people have with the church.  I have the same round about opinion as an Atheist when it comes to the Church. I cannot stand the Church because of the mark they have left on the world. With the power the church once had and to some degree still has.. They make you feel worthless unless you belong to them. which no one should be treated like that. People should not be treated as secondary people due to sexual orientation or belief system. 

By no means am I wanting to push my faith on you atheists. Nor am I wanting you to stop being an Atheist that's what you choose to be.. I respect your decision even though I might not agree with it..

Although Jesus is contributed to teaching about faith, I know most if not all Atheist say Jesus never existed which your opinion is acknowledged and respected. I know that all Atheists see no point in believing in a GOD(s) that could not show proof of even his own existence to people that doubt him. 

With all this said could I ask some Atheists to try something for me.. Ignore the Idea of a higher power in the teachings that Jesus is contributed to.  think of Jesus as a normal person without any link to GOD.. Which shouldn't  be to hard for atheists to ignore seeing they don't believe in a higher power anyways.. Ignore all the GOD talk but take in just what he said about us acting towards each other.  Read what Jesus is contributed to have taught and you will notice that what he teaches brings no harm in peoples lives. As in the way to treat others day to day. 


Also on another note have you noticed that people that have came though out time that have taught about peace and harmony and equality have been killed by the masses..


Please no immature or disrespectful comments I think I have been quite respectful to you while asking this question and talking to you.

I am an atheist and read the bible often and have come to this conclusion. I like Jesus. I dig his message. Its his dad that I dont like. Personally, I find from reading the bible that I love Jesus, he's rational, not judgmental, and preaches peace... But that's the new testament. Its the old testament teaching os hatred, bigotry, and servitude that i dont dig, and the fact that the two books are included in one Bible saddens me, because I believe that so many people would be better off if we could eliminate the old testament.

I don't know of any atheist that has a problem with Jesus. They have a problem with people with a lot of the believers of Jesus. 

Thomas Jefferson for example wrote "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth" which was the Jesus Bible story without all the claims of miracles and stuff. He saw some good morals in the story of Jesus, but didn't believe in him.

Not all of what the mythical Jesus said was good.  You hopefully reject these verses below because you are placing your own morality above that of Jesus in the Bible.

Matthew 10:34
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

Matthew 10:35-36
"For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law — a man's enemies will be the members of his own household."

Luke 12:49-53
"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

Luke 14:26
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters — yes, even his own life — he cannot be my disciple."

John 15:6
"If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."

Jesus also condones slavery; see:
Matthew 24:45-51
Luke 12:42-48
Luke 16:13
Luke 17:7-8
John 8:35

All reliable evidence points to Jesus Christ being just a myth. There is no reliable evidence that Jesus even existed, and significant evidence that he didn't. The evidence is in the Bible, the other religions of the time, the lack of writings about Jesus by historians of the 1st century, and the lack of writings about Jesus by anyone until a decade or more after his supposed life.

The story of Jesus can be shown to be just a myth created to fulfill prophesy, cobbled together out of stories from the Old Testament and previous gods and myths -- created in the 40's and 50's by Paul of Tarsus (who exhibited symptoms of epilepsy and had delusions of Christ talking to him), the other apostles, the unknown authors of the gospels in the 70's or later, and many other people. The reliable evidence for this is overwhelming.

For some of the evidence, see the links.

Nobody really has a problem with Jesus as a human, they mainly have a problem with Jesus as an allegorical concept to represent and abstract ideology. It's not about the materialistic perspective of Jesus, it's about the divine perspective of Jesus

I'm not taking a side here, I'm agnostic. Both religious and non-religious folk can be ignorant. 
I could either type out a paragraph-long answer in my utmost detail, but to put it simply, in a word, the answer is sheer ignorance
