The end goal of Christianity should be to love as God loves everyone, and to will for the salvation of all men, to have no enemies.

Is this a fucking joke? Christians gave me suicidal ideation. Christians literally almost cost me my life. Fuck those evil assholes so much—worst cult man ever made.
Was it Christianity's fault or that of those claiming to profess it?
I do not doubt what you are saying - there are very bad Christians out there, this is real. But I would point out that many Buddhist countries are troubled by violence and the gross sexual exploitation of women, but this is not a reflection of Buddhism, either, but rather a reflection of how the teachings have failed to penetrate the hearts of people.
You have a right to be angry... to feel slighted... to feel mistreated... Because that happened. But I would say that true liberation comes from understanding that the people who did this are pathetic - if they did it because they WILLED you to suffer, they are pathetic because of how mentally unwell & spiritually insane they are, and if they did it out of ignorance, they are unskilled & cognitively... dumb.
Be true to your negative emotions, right, but then try to overcome that negativity so you don't have to suffer the same losses over & over again, right.
I do not want to preach to anybody on this sort of thing - I am not some guru. I am just talking about some of my own pain - I come to grips with it actually through ordering my thoughts and trying to sincerely understand the root cause.
