There's nothing about being a Christian that requires abusing another human being to make a cheap polemical point. As somebody wisely said a long time ago, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". I learned that back when I was a young kid. Why do Christians throw wisdom like this out the door in the name of following Jesus? Did Jesus ever command us to forgo a basic sense of compassion and decency? I don't think so. That's simply a misreading of the entire Bible.
"You need Jesus"
"Why?"
"Because you're a sinner in need of redemption."
"That's abuse and hurts my feelings."
