What is the opposite of fire and brimstone preaching(Hellfire preaching )? To elaborate, what is a general term for preaching involving "compassionate, mercy, love, forgiveness, joy, peace, kindness, gentleness etc."

People from the church are the most dangerous type of people.
And the church are the most dangerous place in the world

Why is that ?

As Soupy Sales would say as he did his famous double take; "What's your problem Pookie?"

The statement is so errant as to not be anything one can respond to except to say it is totally wrong.

All of the emotions and attributes mentioned  are found all about us, and not just from Christians. Why not enjoy some of it? Why reject and even deny it's wondrous existence?

They're just empty words that manifest nothing.

I have often seen people saying something nice, but doing something different. 
I didn't see anything good from people except for the "right" words and beautiful phrase.

Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.

That approach to life can lead you into a very dark place, one that is very hard to escape from because it self justifies itself while you are there.

I know this because I spent many years there, returning to Christ is the only thing that saved me from it.

Again, what we find in life is what we look for (Seek and you will find) and where our life is now, what we are today, is the result of what we have looked for in the past.  This is the way God designed it to be, we decide our lives from the choices he gives us to decide from.

It is clear that no one has anything new to suggest.
You are not the exception, but a confirmation of the rule.

No, you misunderstand me.
I don't expect anything good from this cursed people anymore.
I need not flatter any man; has nothing to give me.
And as soon as I understood that, life became much more easier.
In God I trust. He has made me happy.

How about yourself ?

I was downright depressed thinking about people who would do something so nasty and hurtful when I hadn't ever done anything to them.
Looking up at them, I realized do myrself a disservice by wish people good. no good deed for them goes unpunished.  
They are already in the grasp of Satan. And they want to carry out  desires of satan.
Then I understood that I don't need to worry about it, stress about it, and think about it at other times when I can't do anything to change it.
Jesus and his apostles by their actions were not able to change this cursed people. And I certainly couldn't. They murdered Jesus and His apostles. And they want to kill me.

In God I trust. He has made me happy. 
I pray to God that He judges people by the standard they choose to show me . Without love, mercy and justice...
For in posing as judge and passing sentence on Jesus and His apostles and me, they condemn themselves.
