Of all religious persons, Christians shouldn't be surprised by the continuing ridicule. Christians are supposed to be disciples of a guy who was spat upon, laughed at, mocked, hammered to a stick and left to die, all for claiming to offer forgiveness and salvation to those in charge. For Christians, and I count myself as one, ridicule should be a daily occurrence.

The real task is not simply not respond to such attacks in kind, but to follow Christ in loving those who hate and persecute you. If we can't do that on a message board, when their is no real threat to our lives or livelihood, we certainly won't be able to pull it off in our daily interactions.

You are the desciples of Jews. As a jew by birthright I command you to drop to a knee and bow to me.

Or you could simply stop hating other people who live lives that you don't approve of the way christ would and maybe people wouldn't push back.

I certainly attempt to be a disciple of a Jew. Discipleship, however, is not about dropping a knee, but about "following after" or about living in the same way as does the one you are attempting to emulate.
