So I have a group of Christian friends that I seriously tempted to break off from. Wouldn't say I'm Christian myself, but I do go to their bible group with them as well as other activities and hangouts.
They all seemed like a really cool bunch and was supportive of me when I told them I was dealing with a stalker last year
>Yes, I'm that anon who had the stalker for any of you who remember
They all seemed really great until one of them came out as trans. This Basically split the group into those super for it, and those greatly against it
>I was never really super close to this dude, he seemed like a bit of a sperg with a hint of edgelord. But still I could have cordial conversation with them.
Well since he came out, he's basically been a stereotypical trans cunt on a power trip, who seems to get off on the idea of the group placating to him being a girl rather than him actually wanting to be a girl
>Like the dude smirks when people pussy foot around his pronouns
>He still dresses, acts and behaves like a dude, but is adamant he's one of the girls
This has led to obvious tension which made it bad enough. But this has also led to him being passive aggressively bullied from the supposed kindest and most charitable members of the group.
Ultimately, both are hypocrites. The "trans" dude, and the "holy'er the thou". And honestly I can't stand to be in the group anymore.
>I guess it's also led to my disillusionment of the group. These are all supposed to be "good Christian people", but they're just like any shitty social group you'd find in highschool, they just pretend their not
I guess I've already made up my mind, but do any of you have any tips or pointers? It kinda just hurts to walk away from the few that aren't part of the drama but still have ties to either party

Accept that people aren't going to be perfect. Jesus was sacrificed because he's the only one who obeyed God completely. A core belief of Christianity is acknowledging that you're sinful by nature and need Jesus' sacrifice to save you.
Are you searching for genuineness in your group? If they're supposed to be following the bible, then look there. Matthew 5-7 is good instruction straight from Jesus himself.

Yeah, don't expect christ-like behaviour from Christians. I'm telling you that as a Christian. Being a Christian isn't about somehow becoming a saint or something, the Christians that believe this are the ones who are spiritually prideful, zealous, and behave more like a Pharisee than Christ. Actual Christianity is about knowing you're a sinner. That there are those who sin and do not know it for sin, and those who sin and knows that it is sin. Both are sinners, yet the Christian sinner knows what he is, and it's that knowledge that at least gives room for accountability, responsibility, humility, mercy, and a resolve to try and do better.
I had a similar situation like yours occur as well, back when I was trying to develop faith and was nee to Christianity, I was in a group of them. A homosexual joined in, initially combative and passive aggressive but it was obvious they were suffering and had vital questions. What did the Christians of the group do? Tell him to kill himself, to burn in hell, that he's a faggot and blah blah.
There was no Christ-like behaviour there so I left the group. Even if you try to use your voice for reason and ask people like this to remember their piety, they instantly assume you defend or encourage things like homosexuality or trans shit. When all you are saying is they're sinners but so is everyone, and you wanna do as Christ said: love the sinner but hate the sin. And many Christians don't wanna hear it.
Because humans don't wanna hear it, myself included. Everyone lives to become a hypocrite in lapses and waves. The human spirit is flawed and your friend group would have acted the exact same way if they had been any other type of group: Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, pagan, or some weird atheistic political ideological bubble. Doesn't matter.
What you witnessed is what Christ already pointed out: The human spirit is weak.

The title:
>Christian friends are hypocrites
The post:
>One non-christian dude is dick to everyone around him, that's it
Forget about their problem, what is your problem OP?
What exactly is supposed to be "hypocritical" about said group?
You said that there is one dude who only sows discord around your friends to get kicks out of it. It doesn't matter what he identifies if he is a douchebag on top of it.
It honestly reads like you are the dude in question, and you only made this thread to validate yourself.

It doesn't sound like your problem has much to do with christianity. You are in a social group that has now had a major spanner thrown in it by someone (seemingly intentionally?) Causing discord. I guess you're saying you don't like the atmosphere when hanging around as a group, can you hang out with people more individually or as smaller groups that don't include the tranny? Do you want to still hang out with any individuals of the group?
