You must mean, "Why are American Christians so easily Offended?" In other countries, giving your life to Christ may mean signing your own death warrant - a certain sign of having thick skin at least. Here in the US there are so many wolves in sheep skin passing for what a true Christian looks like, that it has made it difficult to tell who are the real Christians, although Jesus said you would be able to tell them by their fruit. There should be no thistles growing on a fig tree. However, even when true Christians become sensitive, remember they are still sinners saved by grace - they should not act as ungodly as a worldling, but may act with varied emotions from time to time. Jesus said that He will judge His own.

Imagine that your entire belief system revolves around a single book that has been through so many translations and revisions that it can no longer separate fact from fantasy. Imagine that you are incapable of comprehending symbolism, allegory, and parable, and desperately want every magical fairy tale in it to be absolute, literal truth.
Think of how fragile and easily-threatened that belief system would be. Even acknowledging a few simple historical facts could bring it all crashing down.

I don't get offended personally, but I am offended when I hear or see anything that is against my Lord.

Because they have a persecution complex.
Especially in the U.S., where it's relatively easy for a religion to get support and sympathy simply by claiming they are somehow being discriminated against.

In here.......a lot of it has to do with the Offensive, Aggresive, "In you face" way the questions are asked.
Many are only out for an arguement or to belittle Christians

Imagine you are in love. You love this person so very much. This person is your life, you talk with this person every day. This person saved you from death. This person gave you life. This person you want to be with forever.
Then someone bad mouths this person. Wouldn't that offend you?
