Christians aren't even remotely aware of the true gospel. Your tripe gets downvoted because we're finally starting to see, like how this movement started with realizing the Old Guard, that many of your doctrines and practices aren't representative of the Biblical God or the testimony of the Scriptures. That's a real problem for all of you because the Lord doesn't leave His children ignorant of such things.
Basically, even those is the world can spot a phony. How much more among those who are waking?
There are Christians, and those who call themselves Christians. The latter does more harm to the message of the Gospel than those openly hostile to Christianity.
Most times I've heard people judge Christians/Christianity, I find that our views of Christians and Christianity (the one I'm arguing with and myself = we, that is) are very different. So when people say, Christians this, Christianity that, I don't let it bother me, because we do have an unfortunate quantity of stains upon the "christian church".
Story somewhat related, my church burned down over 20 years ago, with the congregation present. No one was hurt, but the fire department couldn't save the building. When interviewed, the main message put out my congregants (there was no coordination either), was that the church didn't burn down, a beautiful building did. The church was a parking lot over, the people who saved Bibles, hymnals, and anything they could grab on their way out the door. People view the church building as the church. People view the people inside as Christians. This is only partially true, on both accounts. There are Christians inside churches, but not every person, not every member, is a true believer. The building may be designated as a "church" but only acts as a church when believers join together to worship God there. Which is why "church" services can be literally anywhere, there is no mandatory stature on building type or even building at all.
But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, Philippians 1:18 NIV
