Why do non believers hate being confronted with the truth?

Accepted answer
Jesus answered that question for you:
Mark 6:11 And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"
God himself will not interfere with man's free will, otherwise we would all still be in the garden of Eden. Each man or woman chooses their own destiny. And that is just how God wants it to be.
There is an ongoing argument about predestination, and whether God created some people as fodder for the fire, but according to Jesus that was not God's intent.
Matthew 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Jesus gave us the Great commission which is to preach the word to all the Nations, not to force salvation onto anyone.
