It goes to show that societal beliefs about the inherent negativity of name calling isn't true. It also shows Jesus wasn't interested in saving all people.

Unless you elaborate I will get this impression -
The positive influences in your spiritual life from John the Baptist and Jesus ARE -
1.) They give you rational to call people names without feeling bad about it.
2.) They give you rational to be apathetic about people being saved, because Jesus was not interested in saving all people.
I don't know if you ever heard the saying -
" The kind of person you are determines the kind of Bible you have."
Unless you elaborate I am getting the impression that you need from God:
1.) justification to call people names a lot.
2.) Justification to not care that many people not come to know Christ for salvation.
