A suspect is in custody after a shooting in a church in the small southwestern MO town of Neosho. He was reportedly shouting that the parishioners were all liars. As he held the gun to one victims head he reportedly asked if anyone would trade their life for that one. When no one stepped up, he shot the victim.
He also shot and wounded five others and killed three.

What they won't point out is the irony that being Christian is to strive to be Christ like. And Jesus said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 . And no one offered his/her life for the one that was offered in trade. Not one.
Of course, this is an extreme case of "practice what you preach", however it is indicative of Christianity at large and in general.It's all good until it affects me personally. Crime, war, the buffoons who have trampled all over the constitution and repeatedly lied to the sheople... None of it really matters until the meat meets the metal.
