I believe you are miss understanding Mathew 23. I just read it myself and Jesus was rebuking the unrighteous pharisees not the righteous pharisees.
Jesus was addressing the Pharisees not the Jewish people. He was rebuking the Pharisees for being hypocrites not practicing what they preached. He was not condeming anyone for being Jewish. This was only to this group of Pharisees not to the righteous pharisees.
The same thing happens even today. A priest is found who is molesting innocent children, A person is found who spends the tithes and offerings on the biggest house and fancy car instead on the ministry. A preacher is found who doesn't live what he preaches. Shouldn't these kinds of people be rebuked for being hyprocrites?
This is what Jesus was doing to this small group of people. He was rebuking them for not practicing what they were preaching.
Jesus even had some friends who were pharisees. He even had dinner with some. If Jesus hated pharisees he wouldn't have friends that are pharisees and he wouldn't have dinner with them.
For a man that you believe never existed you really do hate him. How can you hate someone that you don't believe in? Doesnt' the Bible tell us to forgive others and not to hate anyone?
Doesnt' the Bible tell us to love our enemies and to pray for them when they persecuted us?
You say God created evil yet you complain about the evil that has been done to you. I m a little confused. Why are you complaining about evil that has been done to you if you believe that God created? If it is God's will for evil to come your way then why are you complaining about God's will?
How can you hate Jesus if you do not believe in Him? That would be like me hating Santa Claus when I do not believe in him.
