A perhaps unnecessarily defensive response to imaginary Christians

On my tumblr (same url as this one--just dot tumblr instead of dot livejournal) I just posted a short rant about Christianity. The context is that two apparently fake tumblr accounts started following mine out of nowhere. They look like phishing accounts but are wrapped in the cloth of people (young pretty girls, natch) whose lives went wrong but were saved by Jesus.

My rant was probably uncalled for--after all, these accounts were most likely not even human, never mind Christian. But I felt inspired to write, which is a nice feeling. What I wrote could hurt the feelings of the faithful--and I have friends here and in real life who are Christians, and I would never say these things to their (your) face. Does that make me a hypocrite or what?

If you are interested (and haven't already seen it on tumblr), it follows behind the cut.
