Some people don't have a clue what being a follower of Christ means for those who claim that they hold the very words of Christ Himself in such high esteem.

Luke 6:27-36, 43-45

27"But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. 31And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

32 "If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

Maybe they never got around to reading that part of the Gospels in their mass.

Clearly you didn't. There are plenty of posts under YOUR name with some really crude and ugly remarks. Thanks to you for leaving the Church and setting everyone such a good example too.
