That sounds an awfully lot like your understanding. What Christian would your above statement not apply to?

I guess I'm just having a hard time squaring these statements with you calling other people "vultures", "dipshits that they are", "lying motherfucker", "I damn them, too",

Most Christians I have met or read about would not learn from an Islamic Sufi Murshid, or Guru Nanak, or Buddhism's 8-fold path, or Taoism, or Judaic thought, or the Gita, or the history of WWII.

I've done no harm so long as I'm being honest and only wish them to get their heads out of their asses so that they will stop hurting others. That is for their benefit, too, tho those aholes tend to ignore all recommendations to fix their sh_t and, by doing so, stop inflicting misguided, selfish misery on others.
Jesus said he "did not come to bring peace but a sword". Maybe my middling level of spiritual development includes my using unsavory language (and, therefore, I should, myself, level-up in that respect; I'm not convinced I shouldn't speak more gently), or maybe I am a product of the times we live in, and I am merely speaking in the way that motherf_ckers will understand :-) because this sh_t is serious!
How should the Allied forces have spoken about Axis sympathizers (who lived in Allied countries) when those Axis powers were causing so much misery and devastation?
Every day, we are all choosing one of the three sides in this world:
1) The side of universal compassion.
2) The side of animalistic brutality.
3) The side of selfish ignorance that doesn't take a side and just says, "It's not my problem."
