Envy is where it began, with an accepted sacrifice and an sacrifice not accepted. One freely given from the heart and another just to comply with some imaginary necessity of an works requirement. Who loves me and who loves me to save their skin...

This is a legitimate question, why is it so hard for people to just be nice? Why do people have to be mean occasionally? I'm sorry if I don't live in the "real world" or you label me an idealist. But I never understood why people choose to be mean? And that is in all walks of life, in any spectrum, discussing any top, people just resort to low hanging insults when you don't agree. Yes even in this "Christian" forum, when discussing politics I'd see vile things said about people like it's a toxic twitter thread,, heck even discussing the Bible I've some insults and name calling and people just angry. I may have been that way in the past but it's really getting on my nerves every time I scroll through comment sections on any place. Even watching conversations in real life, it feels unnecessary to me. Why do some want to bully people, at school work, even at home. Wouldn't the world be a better place if we were all just friends? I don't accept the notions that "it's life deal with it", I choose to believe we can all be better.

Well, most people are probably well-meaning. However, there are a few bullies on message boards who are emboldened to attack others due to the perceived safety and anonymity of being physically absent.

In my experience, most people just don’t talk to other people in real life like you see on the Internet.

Rather than let it deter you or upset you, let it give you energy and motivation. If just discussing the Bible provokes people to attack then don’t stop. The enemy wants you to stop discussing the Bible. Keep persisting and resisting; the devil will eventually flee.
