The correct question is how can you not.
Why not just start putting dish washing liquid in your food then??
Just to be clear... You're saying it tastes like soap and you like it..?

You need to get your eyes checked. May I suggest eating some carrots?
So you didn't vote that it tastes like dish washing liquid??

Why would I vote when both choices are wrong?
They're only wrong for you bud and I can't taste what you taste and when I google it, google says peppery... Added a third option that says citrusy

I would like to try to kill anyone who asks me that
The answer is genetic, more specifically a variation in the olfactory-receptor genes. For some people cilantro tastes like soap due to this, for others it does not. To me it tastes like a citrusy parsley. Funnily enough my father states that it tastes like soap to him, but he didn't pass those genes onto me. Not sure how it tastes for my mother, I've never asked.

The "genetic" explanation for idiots with bad tastebuds has been disproven.
Disproven where exactly?

Down here in Tejas, where our food culture was heavily influenced by our mexican neighbors, cilantro is less an herb and more a way of life. Go to any taqueria, food truck, friend's grandma's table, any sit-down dine-in mex restaurant, or be warmly accosted by surprise offerings from parking-lot vendors who sidle up behind you calling "tamales?". Guarantee you'll find those green leafies in just about everything on the menu, maybe except the tamales lol. Cilantro is nearly always paired with two essentials: diced white onion, and lime. Whoever espoused that it takes like soap is probably not preparing it correctly -- namely, with the onion and lime aforementioned. If eaten plain and raw, I'm going with floof's citrusy-parsely but YTMV, Your Tongue May Vary.
We just went through this.... It's not about preparation, it's genetic....

Interestingly enough, where we live, i.e. not in the US sprouted coriander seeds is called....... coriander.
Same here but apparently coriander is a less common name for it than cilantro
