When will Christians stop pretending to follow Christ? Should they be Paulitians?

[QUOTE="IknowthatIdon't, post: 2694232, member: 906732"] It's pretty obvious that the majority of Christians (at least, the outspoken ones) do not follow anything Jesus said. They're more likely to follow people like Paul, so shouldn't they simply be Paulitians? For example, Christians who condemn and hate on gays. Jesus said “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone.” (John 8:7) OR "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" (Matthew 7:3) Which means he would be completely against any bigotry or oppression against homosexuals. Whereas Paul supported the prosecution and oppression of homosexuals because it is a "sin" - or at least, that's what Christians would have us believe. Another example, the harsh and hateful tone towards people who disagree with them. Jesus said to love your enemies, turn the other cheek, etc. This is clearly defying the man you supposedly follow's teachings. So when will Christians admit that they never followed a word of Christ? ?Y?: I missed the part where you critiqued anything I said, rebutted any of my points, or responded to the question asked.
