Why am I so offensive?

So this is totally off of the 365 challenge, I mean, nothing is happening there right now, so I'll come back to it later.

This is a little venty vent. I love facebook, most of the time, but lately it seems like everyone has one goal in mind (ok, not everyone, but a lot of people) piss off some Christians (the hubby hates that word, but lucky for me he doesn't read my blog). Every day for the past month or so, every time I log in there is SOMETHING about how "ridiculous" "closed minded" "hypocritical" or just plain terrible Christians are. How am I NOT suposed to take that as a personal attack? Everyone of my friends either knows I am a Christian, or isn't very observant at all, and I know that the people posting these things know that I am a Christian. If I were to post something as offensive as "Man I am sick of these Muslims blowing up buildings!!" I am pretty sure people would get pretty freaking angry over that and call me a list of terrible things over that. Yet someone posting "Christians are hypocritical closed-minded freaks" gets nothing but PRAISE and "Likes" until a Christian takes up for themselves, then they get attacked. I am sick of it!

The way I feel, if you don't agree with Christianity fine, that is your right. If you believe all Christians are the things I posted above, ok, but what is the point in intentionally hurting people? There are a million things you could put as your status, why would you pick something that you KNOW is going to hurt someone? Probably more than just one person. That is rude, immature, and unkind, and I don't see any reason for it.

I have always been a sensitive person, when I was a kid I cried every time I got in trouble (without anyone raising their voice) and I am still that way, I get my feelings hurt very very easily and I will admit that to anyone. I know that most people are not like that, so for awhile I rationalized that they didn't realize it would hurt anyone, but at this point, with all of the people that I have seen "defending" themselves, they have to realize it is hurting people. Maybe they enjoy the attention? I don't know. But I think it is mean spirited and pretty much pointless, and I REALLY wish people would stop.

That's all, have a great day!! :)
