Why bother?

So, being the masochist I am, I have continued to read and "dialogue" on the ReveLife xanga. And there is one girl who asked another "why bother" trying to explain anything to anyone.

Why bother?
Why bother?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

I just about had a heart attack.
I wanted to respond but this is all I had: *crickets in the background*

Why bother?
Well, Matthew 28:19 comes to mind (Great commission). So does 1 Peter 3:15

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened." But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. (1 Peter 3:8-18a)

Uh huh, and if Christ died, you can certainly handle the little picture icons who call you names online, far from any threat to your actual person.

Why bother. Oh gee, I don't know, because these are human being and ITS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to show an accurate depiction of Christ?

But that's just my opinion.
Oh, and God's.


(My cheesey pasta is cold now. *sigh* See what they do to me? Yep, it has nothing to do with my not being able to control myself. Nothing at all. :-P Gotta find me a microwave...)
