Okay, I'm not sure I follow all of that. However, you need to realize that there are people on this site who come to do nothing but to mock others and tear them down emotionally any and every way they can. Just take a deep breath, say a prayer for them, and go on with your day. Sometimes replying to those people feels like you're repeatedly banging your head against a brick wall. I find it interesting that people are always accusing Christians of being jerks and yet every time I ever went into a religion chat room the Christians were the ones never given a chance to speak their minds, but whatever. I just think you should realize that you are going to get more crap for being a Christian than you would for almost any belief. It's a fact of life.

Some at this site will attack you any time your beliefs are different than theirs.
Many come here with an agenda: to promote an anti-religious opinion, or to say that Jesus is the only way, etc. I don't think people who share their opinions here in aggressive, rude ways are doing nothing but make others defensive and more set in their ways.
Keep sharing your ideas and opinions, and keep doing so in a way that does not push your ideas on others. I imagine you have, in your own way, encouraged many to ponder what it is they believe, and whether or not Christianity will work for them as it has worked for you.

You are supposed to ask questions to learn. As a born again christian God wants you to ask many questions of man and his intentions. If you do not ask then that will leave you without the knowledge that you seek out.
You might even anger some people.
That is okay, that just means you are finding out more and more about people and the things you want to know about.

Religion can be a very touchy subject. I will defend my beliefs with all of my heart and all of my strength. I would imagine most people feel that way - even atheists. I try to word my questions and answers carefully to avoid offending anyone. Jesus said the greatest command is to love one another, so I try to exhibit that behavior in my life. I want my life to be a reflection of His, since He was the ultimate role model of appropriate behavior. Learn to accept those who are different than you - even those who mock or criticize you. Tolerance and acceptance are great values to have.

I read the answers to your question and saw a lot of answers that were hurtful but honest and isn't that what we want? Honestly now, why would we follow a lie if someone pointed it out to be such, shouldn't we thank them for having the insight and willingness to share their reasonings with us? I follow what Jesus teaches because I know from experience that it works! I don't follow the fantasies the church puts forth because as duck points out, they are unprovable. Hey, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen because here is where the food for life is prepared and as Jesus states, what he has served us gives eternal life, not that which others serve.

I think this is my 10th answer to the same question.
The point is that this is NOT a "Religion & Spirituality" forum. It is a Q&A forum on the TOPIC of "Religion & Spirituality."
I suppose some can't see the difference. But if you look carefully you will see that right below this section there is one on "Royalty." Do you take that to mean that only Dukes & Earls should visit?
It's not your feelings that concern me, it's the exclusivist attitude.;

Don't worry about what people think just ask or answer how you believe.
Everybody has the right to voice their opinion or belief if people disagree
that is their privilege.Gods Word will no go void just keep on keeping on.

Well, simply put, if they don't like your opinion, don't read your comments. Some people are ignorant, very thin-skinned and have a strong tendency to take things personal. If that person finds your comments offensive, they should learn to deal with it and NOT take it personally.
The brass tacks of the situation is that everyone has an opinion, myself included.

When you post a question on an open forum you have to take the good with the bad - I am sorry that you are so defensive but I am glad you are still a Christian - we need to hang in there!@

Are you that weak minded that you had to "A" ask a question like that and assume you would not get some negative thoughts and "B" are you that weak minded that you would put something like this question out. It is obvious these people that wrote negative comments did get to you because other wise you wouldn't have wrote this. It is sad to see people like you dumb up a religion.
