I Dislike Being a Stick in the Mud...

I am beginning to think that a lot of my fellow Christians don't know what it is that Jesus (Yeshua) even taught. And you know what, it makes me sad. I certainly don't want to judge, I certainly don't want to condemn anyone, and I don't want to preach. What I would like to do is have this discussion, and I hope it stays a discussion.
I see people of my faith cursing others and I am thinking "We are commanded NOT to do that!". We are supposed to be loving toward everyone and that includes people we believe are sinning. On top of that, it is a Christian's belief that we all sin, ALL OF US.

If people are willing, I'd like to discuss what you guys, as Christians, think of this sort of thing.

This is exactly why I feel it necessary to help defend atheists from false assumptions made by theists of all kinds, especially Christians. There is nothing wrong with being unconvinced by the evidence at hand. And, making assumptions about them only acts to make to harder to even discuss the topic of Jesus' teachings.

Thanks for posting.

Thankfully, not all Christians behave that way, certainly not the ones I am friends with. That any Christian at all would speak that way was rather dismaying to me.
