NT christians are more annoying because they still cite the OT in their rantings.

All you have to do is watch some of the religious channels or make a quick search on YouTube to see that many, many Christians use their religion as an excuse to spew vitriol and hatred. When I see these "This is what Christians do" statements that involve forgiveness and tolerance, it just proves how big the blinders are that many Christians wear.
I know, I know, they're not True Christians. The funny thing is, they'd say the same thing about you.
I see your point. However, I can use the NT to show a vitriol-spewing and hate-filled nominal Christian where they are wrong--something they can not do in return. So it is not a matter of subjective opinion about who is right.
And they can do the same with you. It's all in the interpretation, IOW, what I want it to say.

I do not know of any discipline from particle physics to wood-working where everyone agrees 100% on everything. Are physicists with differing views on high-temperature superconductivity not TRUE physicists? I doubt very much that you will only vote from politicians with whom you agree 100%. Is a pro-choice, pro-union, climate change activist Democrat not a TRUE Democrat just because he or she is NRA supporter?
That's because wood and atomic particles have been shown to EXIST.
