Yes. I have been one of them. I am sorry if I have offended anybody.
As a Christian, I am to love everybody and share the gospel. Name calling has no power against the Love of God.
"Lord, I thank you for this question and the people who will read it. I ask that you touch all these people with your love, kindness, genirosity, grace, and wisdom. Help me to be a better servant and keep me ever vigilant against arrogance and pride. Thank You for being the best friend a person can have."
In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Friend, you have not hurt or offended me in the least bit, Concerning your question you say you are obeying the HOLY GHOST, Friend if the Holy Ghost is leading you, then you don't have to tell anyone you are sorry. In my answers to questions, I stictly stick with the word of God to give my answer, Yes I can sometimes give my opinion, & if my opinion is lining up with the word of God, I myself have nothing to say that I am sorry. Do you know what is really going on in this section, You have so many people that is far from God's word, & that spirit of the enemy tries to agitate people, then if a Young Christian don't know how to respond to it, Then they give a hateful answer. But also remember a hateful answer is required to rebuke that agitating spirit. Jesus never went around pleasing people, He told it just like it was, He even call them Scribes & Pharises, & Jesus said also that ye are of your father the devil. I will never try to offend anyone, But if truth offends them, Then I have nothing to say that I am sorry for what I say. TRUTH will always come out on top. Friend, I almost forgot to tell you, i am not one of those young Christians, I am 57 yrs. old & I have been serving God since May 1970, that is over 36 yrs. & I think I have learned something to know how to react.

I agree with this, Daleswife. Don H expressed it much better than I could.
And if I could add to this, all I would say is that, as Christians, we are responsible for the way others look at us, ( as a group) and that carries a big responsibility to be a good example. Can't we try harder to be more tolerant and understanding, and never nasty, to show how Christ would have us show the Light in Him.

I have noticed this too, just from a month ago that people are turning hateful sometimes from both sides. It is so much easier just to skip to the next question if you don't have something nice to say in the answer. Making mean remarks only turns off people and makes them defensive. I am guilty of being sarcastic, something in my personal life that I am changing, and something I have changed about myself on this forum.
I would just like to have a peaceful learning experience when I visit.

I share your experience of disbelief that others who claim that they are Christians are doing unchristian acts. But are we to lose hope? No, because even you yourself admitted to committing errors. And committing errors is natural to us because we are imperfect. But we still hope for salvation because we believe in God's infinite mercy - and that we know we strive as hard as we can to live a Christian Life. In the end, I just hope and pray that as we journey toward's God - we become more like Him each and evry day.

While I do not by any means profess to be Christian, I have noticed a LOT of criticism & bashing of the Christian faith. I would think it gets wearisome 'keeping the faith' under such a constant barrage of insults & attacks.
Too many people respond to negative posts rather than posting positive or supportive posts themselves.

Dr. smelli-fu is right.
Reading the Qs and As is this section shows the need for Christians to stay and help.

1 Peter 3:15,16. You must defend the faith, in gentleness and meekness, to the non-believer as well as the misguided believer. If I said that Jesus is NOT God, and you know me as a Christian, what would you say in rebuttal?

It shows how hard it is for some to part with the old man.
