First let me address a small area of your misperception of "Christians". Jesus Christ never said we would accomplish perfection in this life. It is a direction to walk in for all we are worth. To expect perfection from me or any other Christian points to "ignorance". That's, actually, a smaller point. You say "How dare ..."
Yes, I dare. How dare you address so small a portion of my comment. God taught me a long time ago to love truth and righteousness. I do. Like him, I hate a lie and an entire religion based on lie. When I point out what I "hate", it is a direct correlation to what Jesus himself hated. When encountering the "liars" of his day who had misinformed his people while self serving themselves , he laid it all out on the line right to their faces.
I have no problem fessing up to weaknesses and imperfections within myself. That is my constant duty according to Jesus Christ and his followers. He never said to love blindly. I hate Islam. I feel strongly for the Muslims who are as deluded as the people that Jesus referred to when accusing the Pharisees and "teachers of the law" of doing the same thing that Islam does to Muslims.
When you get the whole concept, then feel free to respond.
Don't pick out a miniscule part of my overall statement and narrowmindedly comment on that. You have studiously avoide the whole concept.
