Go in direct opposition of Christian values/edicts 2. Tell you "Jesus Loves You" when they can't debate your point or 3. Weaponize their Christianity and act oppressed.
We were in this really good debate about Abortion and sure enough someone came into the live and said we were all going to hell for "murdering babies" - checked out the profile, and of course, Daniel's Corollary as he had a scripture verse in his profile. After telling us we were all going to hell and that we were responsible for murdering hundreds of millions of babies, he insulted us and then said Jesus loved us before the moderator finally blocked him.
