3. The right-wing so-called Christians do not define the faith.

Anyone can claim to be a Christian and many "wolves in sheep clothing" make the claim. However, in the most basic terms, a Christian is follower of Christ.

Jesus said "If you love me keep my commandments." Jesus also said that the greatest commandment was to love God and the second greatest commandment was to love others as yourself.

Someone who hates others is not a follower of Jesus.
