If we Christians acted more like Christ, and were less hateful and judgmental, and loved like we were supposed to love - there probably wouldn't be anti-Christian bigots.

Acting like Christ got him mocked, falsely accused and executed.

Denying the truth about His teachings, or keeping silent about them in order to appease the haters only means you are either ashamed of it, or too afraid to offend people by declaring you are Christian. The truth about the cross is offensive to some, and Jesus said it would be so.

Jesus said the cross would be offensive? Book, chapter, verse?

Yes. The 12 plus Paul were all martyred and/or imprisoned for preaching the gospel.

Matthew 10:22 You will be hated by everyone because of me

Matthew 24:9 Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

John 15:18 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first."
