If it's someone you care about being made fun of, you're going to be offended on their behalf.

I'd only care for them and get offended on their behalf because they have feelings that can be hurt. If they didn't have feelings I'd only care about them for selfish reasons. If they didn't have feelings they'd essentially be a robot.
Well we do believe God hurts very much by our behavior and 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."
