I think it's only fair to point out that you've not posted a single example in those memes of Christians being mocked. Generally speaking, those with good critical thinking skills try less to mock a person, as that's not supremely productive. Ideas, however, are always open to criticism of all kinds, even if those who subscribe to those ideas are offended. It's the idea being attacked, no matter how harshly, not the adherent, in every one of the examples that were posted in this thread.

That is where Christians and the world disagree. We believe that it is beneficial to be a little humble when trying to convey what we believe, and being respectful not to hurt someone as far as it depends on us. We realize idea are more than just ideas. They define a person, and shapes his or hers view of the world and themselves. Christians are indirectly being mocked with these memes. What I mean by that is though the memes don't openly say so they are made in a way that is aimed at belittling. All of these memes are being deceptive, making straw man arguments (whether it is intentional or not I can't tell) in order to be as offensive as possible to whoever believe in what these memes twist/misrepresent to make a joke.
