Love means Accepting people the way they are without wanting to change anything about them.
Most Christians, and yes people of other religions too, believe that their religion is correct and that all others are wrong and or evil. In my opinion anything can be described as good or evil if you look at it from different angles. But anyone who says you are wrong or evil is not loving you. If you love someone and think they are wrong well pray for them invite them to a religious service with you. But don't tell them how bad they are or how they will go to hell or whatever you believe, just love and accept them. And if they say no and want to cuss you out or do whatever, if truly love them you will respect their decision and accept them. Remember the wwjd fad? Well what would Jesus really do? To find out go read the bible. He spent time with thieves prostitutes and other people that would be considered wrong and evil. He said here is what I have to offer take it or leave it. But did he treat them poorly if they didn't want to accept his message? NO! He loved them and he accepted them. Hey while we are on it what would Buddha do. He said hey here is what i have to teach you take it or leave it. He also loved people and accepted them no matter what.
Other than that the only thing I can answer about what is wrong with Christians is the fact that they fall back on the fact that god will love them and forgive them for any sin the commit. So they can sin all day long and then just go "forgive me oh Lord ill work on it tomorrow" and think everything will be OK.
Well that's my two cents hope it was helpful and i hope i didn't piss anyone off.

What is wrong ? I have no idea, but I have an assumption that they are all having a mis-perseption. That is all caused by the impurity of bible. The bible nowdays, is already maipulated by the Rome capitality. Thus why the Christian owdays is no longer pure. Their faith have been change commercially just for the human-kind needed. If u leared carefully about the old and the new testament, u will now the answer perspectiffely, May u satisfied.

Too many Christians get holy-er than thou. They forget that they are still sinners saved by grace. We are not to judge others, and we are commanded to love others, but people are so caught up in their own little world. The Bible also says that end times we will turn against others. Too many people don't read their Bibles to know the truth. They just want what the pastor preaches on Sunday, and they have had their fill for the week. You learn more how to love by reading the Bible, and letting the Holy Spirit rule in your life.

being a "christian" means you are living your life as Jesus the Christ had lived his.
Meaning, your main purpose in life is to live in the service of the Father, everything that you think, do and say is for the glory and honor of the Father.
Being a "christian" means giving your life, your whole being devoting it to the divine purpose. this means giving up the "free will" that the Father has bestowed upon us.
But nowadays, being a "christian" means that you belong in a church or a congregation. It is now more or less like being a member of a organization in name only and not in deeds.
Most of the people who calls themselves "christians" are in honesty in their minds are doing the right thing. So we cannot really blame them of their ignorance of the cosmic and universal laws, since it's not rightly taught and expounded in basic christianity.

It’s not the question of religion. There are specific book for religion but we people are very few who want to learn from the book. We want to do some thing in package system, we will pay money, and somebody else will do religious work for me. So real touch of religion is far, far away from our daily life.
But religion is a complete code of conduct of life, born to death.
How to live, how to behave, how to earn, how to spent, how to pray every thing has been narrated in the religion, but unfortunately we have isolated the whole religion in a mini frame, just to perform some religious ceremony.
And the result is behavior does not reflect belongs to Islam but carrying an Islamic name and this is in almost all religion.

Do not conform any longer to the patters of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12: 2
People are doing the very opposite of this verse. They are faslling into the pressure and temptations of this world.
Now, the question is: Are you loving others the way Christ called YOU to love?

I am not a confirmed Christian.. but I have always given my best to other people who need. I know in my own heart that I am devoted to those who need or require and I sleep easy each and every night, knowing that I have done what I can for those individuals. I have been aware of this need ever since I was a young child.

unfortunately it's not Christians in general it is certain people who happen to be christian who for some reason think it is their job to judge and criticize others. Also the bible is interpreted in many different ways, one may take let's say Matthew 24 to mean one thing while others will believe it to mean something different.
I think the people who hate in the name of god and Christianity obviously don't interpret it the way it was meant to be.

There are about 1 billion of them, and a lot of them didn't get the memo on the "love everybody - even your enemy". Christians are people - some are kind and loving, and some are mean and nasty. Its not the Christianity, its the PEOPLE. Same thing goes for any other religion.
