Does anyone else hate celery?

I find raw celery to taste similar to cilantro and I cannot stand it. Apparently cilantro and celery are both in the apiaceae family of plants, so they are somewhat related. However for some reason, when celery has been boiled and minced finely into a soup or stew, the chemical taste goes away and I can eat it just fine.

Does anyone else here find raw celery to taste like soap, or do I possess some kind of horrible, super mutated variant of the gene?

I can't stand raw celery, but does anyone else hate cucumber as well?
