its deeds are evil

Here's a piece from the Telegraph, 'Why being a christian gets you crucified'. Its an interesting article about the furore surrounding Melinda Tankard Reist at the moment.  But I don't really think it answers the question "why?".  Jesus did.

Jesus said,

"The world cannot hate you, but it does hate me because I testify about it- that its deeds are evil" John 7:7 (HSCB; see ESV)
