But that goes against the whole love your neighbor commandment. I guess I just get tired of people who think they are being edgy or provocative by bashing Christianity
There's a famous phrase in the Bhagavat Gita, that is apt but get's partially quoted by much the same people that would like the tolerant (love thy neighbor Christians) to lie down and accept their servitude. It is a reply to a question asking, isn't non-violence most important? The reply is 'Non violence is the highest duty/righteousness, unless there is no other way for duty/righteousness. ' So kill the fucking evil fucks [paraphrasing the last line].
The same reason we gave police a monopoly on violence, but they are now just security guards for some level of government.
I’ve heard theologians say that self defense is ok. Some Christian pacifists literally say to just stand there and let yourself be killed. Now if I was captured by taliban and they said deny Christ or die then I’d have to die but I will defend loved ones from evil. No question
Do the crusaders strike anyone as ''love thy neighbor'' faggots? Take a look at how heretics were dealt with in true Christian societies. There has been and is an initiative from a certain group of someones to keep Christians docile.
Even the Love the Lord thy God with all your heart soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself? But this has been a question I’ve been wondering about. Although the Good Samaritan is parable where she shows love to a total stranger. But I guess with people who mock the faith is what you are referring to?

Thing is, if you only take action when it is unbearable, you will find yourself out of the tent in the cold and the camel in bed with your wife.
It's why you need to viciously safeguard your boundaries, or find yourself left to the tender mercies of reservation/street life.
You aren’t wrong. That is probably one of my main struggles as a Christian.

Weren’t they being terrorized by Muslims at that time? I feel you should make every attempt but if it breaks down you have to fight
Are Christians in the west not being terrorized now? The difference between then and now is that back then they fought, now they comply...
These things all literal demons. I don’t think God commanded you to love demons.
That "neighbor" is a term that includes your enemies seems to be a fairly recent belief.
