I get offended by answers on this forum by people who are just on here to put Christians down. Even though I believe, I still get offended by the disgusting remarks. Can't help it.

You are happy if you are secure in Christian beliefs. If you are offended by people trying to tell you you're wrong it might be because you think they are trying to make you unhappy. Which isn't a nice thing to do, and feeling offended is a logical reaction IF you believe that is what they are trying to do.
Some probably are, there are mean and spiteful atheists, just like there are mean and spiteful Christians.
They are equally offensive.

Yes, many times we do. We surely need to work on that. (this happens when we get in the Flesh) If we stay " Prayed up" and walk in " His spirit," It is very unusual to get offended. Instead, We Let Our Light Shine, and Jesus works thru us. ( Nice) We are the Only Bible that some Read.

No we should not, Jesus told us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, do good to those who hate us and pray for those who spitefully use us and persecute us (Matthew 5:44). In truth we cannot be offended when we really are dead to our flesh and walking in the Spirit as sons (there is neither male nor female in Jesus) of God.

I personally am never offended about me beliefs. "If God is for us, who can be against us."
Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

I don't get offended because it goes against what I believe. I get offended because it goes against what the Lord says.

Most Christians I know get very defensive if anyone even questions something they believe in.
I think it's because they're insecure, more so than secure.

You, and the whole lot of christians, don't have the answers, so you feel offended while trying to defend your irrational beliefs.
Your mental state is rather insecure.
