Do you have Calvin Derangement Syndrome?

I’ve been writing for Christian websites and publications for a long time. When I first started, I used to get angry when atheists and unbelievers would attack my articles, and would seethe inside, wishing I could somehow hurl their snark back at them.
But then I heard someone ask William Lane Craig a question on how he was able always to respond gently and kindly to unbelievers who were so abusive to him in debates and online. He said simply, “I don’t expect non-Christians to act like Christians.”

That changed the game for me, and now I can honestly say I’m fine with whatever peckish responses are fired at me from unbelievers. If you’re a non-Christian and reading this right now, I’m glad you’re here, even if you leave a negative comment.
