It's gotten to the point that mother earth is in an SOS stage and we are all ignoring her pleas to get along with each other as a human race. Instead, Christians love to ostraichize things so much it's caused others to react in the same but opposite matter and thus the turf wars are going on globally and it isn't going to end well.
If this is what the kingdom of heaven is like I'm glad I'm a fugitive from Jesus and will gladly remain one for as long as I have breath.
Christian when they repented and got baptized should move through God from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Heaven, so they forsake the works of the devil in a dark world ..... The more they work through God the joy of the Spirit is sometimes rejected by people of the world, where the people of God refuse to hated other people enemies .................. See the spiritual authority of God is the good nature of Heaven, and the spiritual authority of the devil is the evil nature of the world, so believers follow what is right.......... Then some Christians are bias to politics where anything goes

I take it you mean other Jewish people. And of course those beneath them means the Gentiles. Non-Jewish people. I cannot speak for others. But I'd say a Jewish person always seems to know more than a non-Jewish person about God.

By now you're doubtless aware that I have no high regard for the Christian faith, but in fairness, ostracizing / holier-than-thou behavior isn't consistent within Christianity; it tends to flow from the more authoritarian sects. Also, it's not exclusive to Christianity. Buddhists in Mayanmar persecute ethnic and religious minorities. Chinese government (officially, atheists) persecute Tibetan Buddhists. Buddhists and Hindus have great conflict in India and Pakistan -- all of this is the same "we're right and you Others are wrong" mentality.
You aren't wrong to appreciate your faith for not being part of this problem, although, such a broad-brush dismissal of Christianity might reflect a personal "we're right and you Others are wrong" attitude, possibly. It's a very human tendency, one that we should all be helping ourselves and others compensate for.
It's not all Christians. Sometimes it could just be people who have never left their hometown or never needed to learn how to get along with others who think differently than they do.

Where, who, and what are they doing...specifically?
Seems to me differing political, social, and economic views & concepts are a greater instigation.
Please clue me in: Who's more "holy", people like you, or Christians? Are you and your ilk above or beneath the Christians?
The unaware irony (& bigotry) of this original post is delicious..
