How to offend people:
False advertising. When they found out it was just a braut, well, you know.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

You know when I hear people talk about being offended often that seems to cover quite a bit of territory - feeling disrespected, invalidated, insulted, threatened, alienation, or some combination. Other times I sense in the speakers things like righteous indignation, self-pity, and virtue signalling. Personally, I cannot imagine how anyone can take pride in being a victim anymore than they should be made to feel ashamed of being one.
FWIW today I saw the phrase "oppression Olympics" in an op-ed describing a dispute between two groups over which of them were the most oppressed. It was inevitable; they have started to feed on each other. You can laugh or you can cry. 
...or you can stock up on popcorn.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
