11. Others do not know what is in your heart, some of your fellow 'faithful' are dangerous

and must be avoided for the sake of not being beaten or libeled. So it is on YOU to demonstrate with your actions who you are and how you love others. It is NOT the responsibility of others to inspect each cross waving dogma shouter to see if they are 'the good kind'.
So what do you do, to show others your charitable nature?
I always ask Christians who bitterly complain that others misunderstand them how they deal with the passage in which Christ tells his followers that they will be misunderstood, mocked and even persecuted for his sake and commands them to rejoice and be very glad about that? Why do you folks never rejoice and instead cast blame?
How do you hear Christ say 'when mocked for me, rejoice' and instead tell others to 'knock off the hate' while your Christian brothers and sisters in Uganda, for example, are running pogroms against gay people?
Is it not Christians who should knock off the hate? Is it not Christian ministers and Popes who say 'gays are of Satan, we are at war'? Yes it is.
Do you ever tell your own to knock off the organized hate against others, globally?
Or is this all about you, as it always is with the 'faithful'. I me and mine, the holy trinity?
