2 Timothy 3:3 ►
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

This verse really sums up the reality of life experiences. Folks may tolerate Christians, but deep down they mostly despise them, and are looking for any excuse to tell them so too.

We moved into a Christian college town, and the divide between townspeople and Christians is thick. The townspeople for the most part truly hate the college and anyone associated with it. When folks were getting to know us, they woild inevitably ask “and what do you do for work” and when we told them, it was like their whole countenance would change- they’d get visibly angry, clam up, and leave and that would be the last interaction qhat they would deign to have with us.

Others were a bit more polite, and would feign friendship AS LONG AS we never mentioned anything to do with God. They could run down the college, Christians, the church etc, but as soon as so eone tried to defend themselves agaisnt the fslse accusations, they would really get an earful of angry insults and more false accusations.

Not everyone were like that of course, but many were. You could definately see 2 Tim 3:3 was talking about them. They outright hate good, and weren’t shy about telling hrstians about their hatred either.
