If you get offended when I insult your religion, your religion is false.

"God is supposed to be an infinitely powerful being. It is not possible to have any power or influence over an infinitely powerful being. It is not possible to effect God in any way.
I cannot make God angry, niether can I make him happy. If I could make God happy or angry, it would mean that I have some control over God's emotions. Thus, I would have some control over God. But such a God, whose emotions (anger) I can control, cannot be a God. When even a billion blackholes, which have the power to bend light, due to enormous gravitational attraction, cannot effect God, then can I, a 65 Kg man, effect God in any way? . But we know from our earlier discussion, that a being cannot be a God, if its emotions can be controlled by a human being.
Note: Abusing another human is a different matter, because a human can be effected by abuse, since she/he is not infinitely powerful, as God is. "

No SOurce sorry

You are very confused and your reasoning is foolish.

You ask a question about religion, that is simply illogical. If I insulted your mother and you were offended then your mother must be false, is the level of your reasoning.

Though the majority may cling to a lie or to deception and be outraged when that is challenged yet truth is also precious, and insults against truth are offensive.

Then you misunderstand the Nature of God. You say that your behaviour cannot have any effect upon God, but if you sin against Him He will certainly judge you for that sin. That in no way diminishes His omnipotence.

He is perfect and requires your perfect obedience to His perfect Law. If you sin against Him He is bound by His perfection to uphold His Law. Further He has the power and ability to do so.

It is strange reasoning indeed that considers your sinning against Him, which results in His judgement of you, is somehow controlling God. Rather reason understands that God controls you.

That you cannot even draw breath without God giving it to you and that all things are held in existence and sustained by His mighty power speaks of His omnipotence. You cannot even sin against Him without His enabling power. He can utterly control you as He chooses.

But He chooses to offer you a relationship.

If then He blesses you and then also gives it to you to love and serve Him or not, and your sinfulness insults or offends against Him, He is well able to deal with that sin to uphold His goodness, His righteousness and His Law. He can root out and punish all that offends and corrupts and preserve perfection for all others as well as His own Perfection.

This He will do and if He gives you time to repent and to come to your senses, that demonstrates His goodness and mercy and love for you.

Your notions are both false.

Some of the religiosos here seem to be missing the point. Isn't it a fact that if you know something for sure, you do not get angry when someone disputes it? If someone told you that water wasn't wet, for instance, you would just laugh at them.

It's only when you hold beliefs that you can't back up with facts, and that you probably know deep down are not true (like most religious beliefs) that you become agitated and violent.

"Abusing another human is a different matter, because a human can be effected by abuse, since she/he is not infinitely powerful, as God is. "

But you're not asking if God gets upset, you're asking if you offend someone by insulting their religion and they react to the insult, does that prove their religion is false.

How can you determine that religion is false by the observation of a flawed member of that religion?

No it is not false, I do not get offended, and you cant insult my religion as He is the Supreme Being, with the name I Am. Trying to insult religion in any way only insults one's intelligence.

Why insult someone's religion/faith tradition in the first place? What do you gain from resorting to that ignorant behavior?

You may not yourself believe in that person's religion/faith tradition, but what are you trying to prove by insulting it? That other person could care less about what you think.

No, it just means that, if you are offended, you do not understand enough to reconcile the statement with your faith. So, basically, if you are offended, you feel as if your beliefs have been undermined by the statement, which means your beliefs were not too strong to begin with, and has nothing to do with the religion itself.

I would say True - If you are offended when someone insults your religion, that means you are insecure about your religion, and there must be a part of you that is in doubt. To believe in anything, you must believe in it wholeheartedly. Without total faith in something, belief and faith are pointless....

If something is very dear to you and it is insulted as a Christian often is, it is only natural for him/her to be offended.
It is also natural for them to bite back which is unwise because it invites this sort od question.

however if they do not bite backl they are likely to be accused of not having sufficient faith with which to bite back. It's known as being between a rock and a hard place
