Once you start deciding who is a Christian and who is not you are bound to engender ill-will. I think Christ-like humility would go a long way to fostering relationships with other groups.
Wait? Am I finally going to get an answer about why the phrase 'that sucks!' is so offensive in the US? I'm not being snarky, I really don't know.
