I think I made my point. Nobody can force you to come to the truth. I'd rather be rude and disrespectful but give you the truth than be all tolerant and nice and make compromises on it. I hate falsehood and lies, not people. If you truly love your neighbor you direct them towards the truth even if it's not dressed in niceties and false unity.
I think people should grow a back bone and not be all feminine in their exchanges because Christianity is not about being nice but about the Truth - otherwise we get Nice-ianity). I'd go even further - If you're afraid you could hurt someone's feelings by telling the truth, you can't be a Christian. If I call you a fool and you're acting like one, that's not unchristian in the slightest. Scripture and the Church fathers used very harsh language when dealing with heresies and false teachings (and not just language but physical aggression too).
It would have been nice not to blow through my arguments though because it seems you just don't care for the truth of the matter. Just answer this one:
Who is your greatest enemy? Is it perhaps Satan? Do you love him?
Fair. When time permits I will give you the responses your comments deserve as you obviously put time in crafting them.
My greatest enemy is technically ... myself, fighting with my own fleshly lusts and desires. Satan influences but I choose and act. I am thankful having the Holy Spirit on my side of this battle.

Oh I still think your perspective is wrong. I still reject it. I'm just going to be more kind about it moving forward.
That's cool. Civility is good and I'm all for it.
