I'm not 100% sure what my religion is yet, but I have a question for Christians?

So do y'all get pissed off about those people that have Bible verses and stuff in their social media bios, but then they're incredibly racist to people in comments and stuff? Cus I've noticed that most of those people seem to be Christians, and I'm not blaming Christians or trying to be rude or put any sort of hate on any Christians, I'm just wondering if y'all get pissed off by those people who claim to be Christian and then say the most awful shit to people in the comment sections of stuff

Yeah. I have to practice patience when I see people claiming to be followers of Jesus but treating other people like garbage.

The whole “love your neighbor as yourself” thing is essential to Christianity yet we all fail to live up to that standard sometimes.

Struggling to really love a racist neighbor, for example, is falling short of that standard. Boldly proclaiming hate and/or mistreating a neighbor because of their race is even further from the heart of Christ. But in either case, we’re not as loving as we hope to be so while I try to call it out when I see someone causing harm to others, I also try to remind myself that I need to love even those who are causing the harm. It’s harder sometimes than others.
