Hatred of righteous behaviour is not a spiritual attitude, it is just rebellion.
We are called to hunger and thirst for righteousness because we will be filled.
Those who reject and judge righteousness will be judged for their sin, because
the righteousness of Christ is what saves us, and by judging it you reject it and
the salvation it brings.

You forgot to quote "righteous" or you could cut the quotations and say self righteous...

I agree...it is anti-Christ at it's core. It's no wonder mindsets like this fight against the grace of God in Christ. it disqualifies their working for righteousness. They are in effect denying their Lord and Master. They are exchanging Christ for their own D.I.Y self-righteousness/holiness.
Make no mistake about it - there is an all out war on the grace of God in Christ's finished work on the cross.
Satan and his horde do not come to the believer in Christ and say "Sin all you want" because no one would for fall for such a lie.
Instead they come as "ministers of righteousness". Doing their own righteousness by "their" works.
They want us to live by our own D.I.Y. self-righteousness/holiness so that we will be not be depending on what Christ has done for us by grace through faith alone for salvation.
This cuts us off from receiving the grace of God in our lives.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15 (KJV)
[SUP]14[/SUP] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
[SUP]15[/SUP] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. ( notice that is "their" works )
This below in 1 Peter 1:13 is what satan is really after...this is why he has false prophets/teachers in our midst.
He wants us to fall away from grace and depend on our own performance and human will-power instead of what Christ has done in His finished work on the cross and resurrection.
1 Peter 1:13
[SUP]13 [/SUP] Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

It is a major deception for sure. It is anti-Christ and anti-the gospel at it's core belief.
We are to be like Paul and not stand for this for one hour.
Galatians 2:5 (NASB)
[SUP]5 [/SUP] But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
The scriptures have been shown that we in fact the righteousness of God in Christ now because of His work - not ours. We can leave it in the hands of the Lord. To interact further with this type of a mindset is a waste of time. No one is going to be duped by this anti-Christ belief system.
The Holy Spirit will use the scriptures to speak to those reading the threads to witness the life of Christ in them.
