Why does Jesus piss people off?

Of course God is real, how could you hate someone that much who isn't real? Have you ever felt that kind of hatred for a chair? Why does Jesus piss so many people off? Because He is real, and He is who He says He is.

No, that is the problem. His parents tried to sit in the chair, but it wasn't there so they fell backwards and died.

Exactly, he hates the chair, but it isn't real and didn't cause anything.
