I am genuinely sorry that this is happening

Appreciate the sentiment, but it's not anyone's task to apologize for someone else's shitty behavior.

What you (and other Christians who are bothered by this approach) can do is to talk to your fellow believers about it and express your concerns.

We all know they're not going to listen to us heathen unbelievers...

Thanks for the comment man. I apologized because it bothers me to no end, and for vetter or for worse, calling mysrlf a christian puts me in the crosshairs of people that are understandibly upset at that behavior, and I'm not narcissistic enough to just pass by and not try to make it a bit better if possible. Unfortunately, because of their radical religious way of thinking and blatant inability to exercise critical thinking, they won't listen to anyone but their "church leaders", whom, for the most part, only have their own interests at heart.
