Psalmist,

Thank you! I have a strong desire for truth and this kind of disrespectful talk needs to be accounted for by those who think it okay to treat other Christians this way. When will it stop? I don’t know however when the Christian world is given the ability to see what is underneath the surface perhaps they will call him to account. Can you imagine what an unbeliever would do who was treated like this? Who would blame them for thinking bad thoughts about Christians?

A Christian apologist must be accountable for his attitude. God wants us to defend the faith but he also cares about our attitude when we do the defense. The Bible speaks about the attitude of those who should be teaching us:

2 Timothy 2:24 The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,

2 Timothy 2:25 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,
