238. I hear you... I do...but...
I'm not sure that your argument, "don't knock Jesus because other people do believe" will cut it with people that do not believe in Jesus. I can understand your offense... such is mine when people tell me I am a simpering idiot for being a vegan. But, individuals have the right to that opinion, and I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to encourage them to believe otherwise. Which is probably why I have found it wholly necessary to cultivate an extremely thick skin over the course of my life.

Sure, you'll be offended. People say things aloud (or in thise case - type things) that assualt our personal sensibilities. I think that this is part and parcel of the interactions with other human beings. Your faith in Jesus is not shaken by their writings. Their desire to mock is not challenged by your feelings of offense. Such is life.
