Naturally. But Jesus called us to a higher standard..

“But to you who are listening I say: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who ill-treat you. ‘If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.”

Christians have to both pray for their personal enemies while hating what God hates.

Also, it is not natural to hate what God hates. That only comes with sanctification.

Natural is "loving everyone" and just accepting everyone's unique preference to sin as part of their own holy identity.
