It is certainly True that Jesus and the Apostles put great emphasis on products of the Spirit such as love, joy, peace, patience… Jesus placed extreme burdens on his missionary clergy the Disciples. Of course they would, they were launching the most radical faith system in history in the face of intense depravity holding all worldly power. Christians could not be antagonizing in their regular day-to-day lives. But these are not the only fruits of the Spirit, and we do not always act in a regular day-to-day manner. Jesus himself whipped the moneychangers, hurled the worst possible curse words and invective at the Pharisees, vowed again and again and again and again that he would hurl the rebellious into eternal agony, commanded Christians to sell their garments if necessary to buy the weapons for bloody defense… Jesus and the apostles commanded castigation, shunning, extreme judgement of all…

You truly have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Jesus rebuked the moneychangers for turning the temple into a marketplace of greed and profit. He lambasted the Pharisees because they held themselves up as righteous and yet their hearts were cold, empty and bitter, as “whitewashed tombs”. He said love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, as even pagans love their friends. He made friends with tax collectors and prositutes. He didn’t berate them. He didn’t teach people to belittle others or to be verbally abusive. How dare you.

You really have no idea at all what you’re talking about. You just want some excuse to be vile.
