What percentage of Christians hate and fear the UN?
You speak as if it's all of them.

Yes, but of course, but just one not too bad Christian could save the Christian creed entire, and not only that, but makes it deserving of stomping on all better strains of thought it ever encounters.

I knew a Christian doctor who was a native of Nagasaki and worked in Hiroshima. Dr. Yokoro. He did research on the aftereffects of the A-bombs, and helped to organize the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War -- Nobel Prize in 1985.
That group has been happy to work with the UN when possible.
Making a blanket statement, that Christians hate the UN, is false. Some do, some don't. Just as some atheists do, and some don't.
Big blanket statements like that are the kind of thing that bigots write.

The claim that hitler is evil is false because some of his cells were outstanding and not evil at all. In fact the average level of evilness of his cells is not demonstrably greater than that of the cells of any other persons.
Saying Hitler was more evil is clearly the kind of thing only bigots would write.

No one is talking about cells in a body. We are talking about a certain percentage of individuals in an enormously large and diverse group of people.
By making this sarcastic reply, you are arguing that in fact if some percentage of individuals in a group are bad, then the whole group is bad. This is exactly how bigots think.
For example, if someone argues that some Jews are greedy, therefore all Jews are greedy, that's bigotry. Or some black people are criminals, therefore all black people are criminals.
So you are making a bigot's argument.

Clinton (both).
Both? But with Hillary being a woman I don't think they consider her as an antichrist because antichrist is Jesus's enemy and they would see a woman not being strong enough to fight with a guy and would make Jesus look weak and perhaps even gay.

Considering that "Left Behind" series was a bestseller among Christians I say a high percentage.

Certainly not all of them, there are those William Blake Christians, of which you constantly blabber about, that see Jesus just as a metaphor. They certainly don't believe, or do they?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

@ Fake Messiah
So many Christians bend and twist their views to fit secular thinking that one has to wonder, what bits are worth holding onto? This sort of cherry-picking nonsense is something I have no respect for. I almost respect the fundies more.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

You shouldn't talk about things you don't know anything about.
