He was merely explaining how/why some people are offended with certain words by showing the OP that he too is probably a person who is offended by certain words.
The discussion is how Christians and non-Christians view certain words differently. If that difference isn't Jesus, what is it?
Is that the discussion though? I don't think the OP said anything about theists thinking certain words are offensive while atheists think certain different words are offensive, and why there is a supposed difference in the words each groups finds offensive. Looks like he was just talking about people ("mostly religious") being offended by "dirty words:"

Drich's point was to show that "religious people" aren't the only ones who are offended by dirty words.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
