It's not surprising now to meet people, even in the Christian camp, who despite debates. Not surprising because the West educates the heresy of "judge not" vehemently since the 90s.
They are not without justification of course, debates often end badly, destroying relationships, vain glorification, building pride, and often time, nothing edifying.
However, the alternative they suggested is not any good either. It looks good for a short time. Instead of being judgy, give praise, vain flatteries aren't too bad either. It gets boring. It becomes fake. It inevitably repels smarter folks of all camps. So it's not surprising for some who cares, to inject some spicy challenges in the midst of this boring flattery and vain praises, to rattle the cage, to reveal and isolate the wolves, pretending to play the peaceful game, in sheep's clothing.
It's either that or let people keep getting drunk in their religious opium.
