we stink?

2 Corinthians 2 

15 Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. 

But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved 

and by those who are perishing. 

16 To those who are perishing, 

we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. 

But to those who are being saved, 

we are a life-giving perfume.

That explains a lot why some people react so strongly negatively to those of us who follow Jesus.

And they probably couldn't or wouldn't quantify their negative response in that manner.
