I admit, many Christians, including myself, have done a poor job of representing Christ. I have to offer you hope and love through Christ. He loves you deeply regardless of what you think of Him. I don't have all the answers to tough questions. I do not believe your heart is so hard that it is unreachable. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate at it and I will pray even though you might think that is an exercise in futility. I believe it is powerful and want to stand in the gap for my angry cloud friend.
You may not recall this, but I am a former Christian. I started the exercise of reading the bible from front cover to back. When I opened the book, I was a Christian, when I finally closed it, I was an apostate.
You're missing the thinly veiled point - your religion (or whatever you want to call it) has nothing to offer me that I need or desire. I wasted many years of the only life I'll ever have pursuing the empty promises of faith, and I'll waste no more of it on that particular pursuit.
thank you for sharing

That's up to you, but clearly your present approach, that of turning every situation into a proselytising opportunity, isn't winning you many customers. If people are interpreting your posts as rude, maybe the problem - and its solution - lies closer to home.
Thank you for your feedback.
