Why are you filled with irony? You didn't answer my question, as usual.
Yeah, all kinds of people claim to be "Christian" but they fail to do this:
2 Ti 2:19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

What about loving one's neighbor as themselves? Are you going to try and follow that command?
Do you really want me to quote your Bible attacks again? Who is your god? Still don't know?
I do try to follow it. Some people make it hard.

I think people would be more offended if I followed that. I prefer to be brutally honest with myself. And I have forsaken expectations of social acceptance.

My mother moved to a small town to retire .
After a year or so she concluded the entire town was crass and rude, and difficult to befriend.
I told her " you receive what you project"
I showed her as we went out, how to smile, act friendly, and care about their struggles by asking and listening.
Bottom.line.
Do that experiment when out in public.
Love them, and most love you back.
Some can not. Too much pain and discouragement.
For those you pray.

I suspect the op is daring people to be kind.
That puts up people's guard.
Sow love...reap a harvest of love.
People need to learn to network people.
Have a flock of folks around you that celebrate you.
Depart from those tolerating you.
What a happy life.
Intoxicating actually.

Our failurtes are oly an excuse for people to choose to reject Jesus.
Yes there are some really nasty believers out there and yes they give bad examples. but even if we all were loving and kind and were far more Christ like, those who wish to reject Jesus would simply come up woith another lame excuse to their destruction.
That is not a license for us to live wrongly, but the reality of spiritual soteriological matters.
perhaps we need to know this: - A Big word that matters: -
Soteriology (/soʊˌtɪriˈɒlədʒi/; Ancient Greek: σωτηρία sōtēría "salvation" from σωτήρ sōtḗr "savior, preserver" and λόγος lógos "study" or "word") is the study of religious doctrines of salvation. Salvation theory occupies a place of special significance in many religions. In the academic field of religious studies, soteriology is understood by scholars as representing a key theme in a number of different religions and is often studied in a comparative context; that is, comparing various ideas about what salvation is and how it is obtained.
perhaps this definition of "soteriology" will help others to understand what the member was trying to convey in his post.

Misleading thread title.
Why do you hate Christians, is the true question there.
Thinking an unhinged person leads all people to hate Christians is inflammatory slander.
That's person is not an example of Christian.
This whole thing is a tool of the enemy.
