What I don't like about a lot of Christians through the ages is how they judge so much. At least around me, I haven't noticed it's as bad, but, obviously, throughout history, they've done some pretty crappy things. And I'm sure a lot of the things Christians have persecuted or ostracized others for are things that I also consider to be wrong. What I consider to be the key, though, and what those people keep on conveniently missing, is something that Jesus said, and I paraphrase: It is God's place to judge, not man's. I mean, it's a fundamental part of Jesus's history, of befriending and loving those who do things that are considered to be immoral, yet so many others who have less right to judge than Jesus can be real horrible to those who are different. And that's something that's always bugged me, especially since I'm really different as well.
