My intention is not to end up at the other end of a pointy spear, but I take your point. Nice post
. I keep saying that I value everyone's ideas and aim to be tolerant and respectful. That seems to be ignored, or maybe I'm not reflecting that. In no way is this a witch hunt. I'm after a clear understanding, and all the obvious misunderstanding is attracting my spidey sense which can't help but respond. Apologies for that.

This isn't my brother in Christ. Catfish, love his cotton socks, is a brother in faith to me as much add you are my sister, assuming you aren't a Christian as is widely defined by the Christian Church which encompasses some forty thousand denominations, all of which I would happily refer to as brothers and sisters in Christ.
He is a brother in theism no doubt. That doesn't preclude him from being as polar opposite in faith to me as any other.
Now that isn't to say that I wish any harm on him whatsoever. In fact if he were an outsider, then that would make me love him even more, as that is the commission of the church. Most of the people that I love, value and cherish are not my siblings in Christ. I do work pointedly at not hating on people. That's a huge failure to me. I do like to poke fun and maybe that's a weakness. I'm as susceptible to pride as the next person.
