It has always puzzled me when I see the hurt in the eyes of the Christian who is offended because of something I've said about their belief in God. If you assume it's because I've said something cruel to hurt them on purpose then you are mistaken. That's not to say I've never gone on the attack, but for the most part they will be offended and hurt no matter what I say. There seems to be no correct discourse they'd be happier to hear than absolute acceptance and submission to their beliefs. But it's not that they are hurt and offended themselves that actually puzzles me, it's how they will claim and package their offended sensibility off as "My God is offended"
How can a perfect immortal all powerful God who knows everything ahead of everything ever be offended? How exactly How can anything hurt a real God? It makes no sense. I can accept that a God could grieve, like a parent grieving for a child who is destroying themselves. But the experience of grief is not the same as being hurt and offended about something that you know is wrong. Those people will take a hardline stance of thinking they need to protect their God from any perceive threat against their belief. But that is a serious problem with them and how they react, not that a real God needs to defend itself. God can not be harmed by anything because it is absolutely indestructible and permanent. So what would a God need to be defending itself for exactly?
