All men are created in God's image... Morality comes from God... All men have morality by that sense... So to say that nonchristians can be more moral is not hurtful or 'revelatory'... Just read the accounts of religious leaders in the bible...

It's the internet. Typically where internet culture is cultivated people realize that not everyone is going to have the same point of view. I don't know why, but that security is nullified here. It's a constant warzone because let's face it — it's religion. Anything that you see is just subject to opinion and exegetical orthodoxy based around someone's interpretation... God forbid someone should have a different interpretation to them.
It's all about our filters. And gnats. Get that gnat out of your soup, friend! Never mind the camel. 
I go in to some of these threads and before I realize it, I have gnat carcasses all about me and my mouth tastes like camel meat. Have I ever had camel meat? Nope. This is not literal, of course. It is then that I bow out of the thread and never open it again. Never. Despite the temptation. Because, straining at gnats is a waste of time.
Now, there are other things that are the really big issues and those, I am not ashamed to say, are ones I will argue about most vehemently. I guess I should be ashamed...arguing is not the best method.

The tares are already identified. It's just a matter of time that they will be pulled. Why they are not pulled now? It's because the wheat might be pulled along with them.
They are among Christians for a reason. To test their faith and understanding of Yahweh.
Yeshua said narrow is the way and history has shown that the majority is not always right so I pay more attention to the minority.

The wheat and the weeds parable is not written so one might fear if they're really genuine, a wheat or a weed (tare). This misses the point entirely. The weeds are sown by Satan, they know they are weeds, and God knows, and the angels will know. If you are not a believer in Christ, you know that you don't believe, you know that you are a weed. Likewise if you believe, you know you're genuine, you know you're wheat. Assurance is of the essence of salvation. The point is not to ask whether one is a wheat or weed, the point is to recognize that there are wheat and weeds and so in Christ's kingdom there will be genuine and fake and the conflicts that this causes. Because the world will know we are Christians by our love for one another, one point of evidence is that if someone doesn't seem to love a brother or sister, then you may question whether they are a wheat or a weed.
