Put downs?

Why is it that so many people seem to want to put them selves down in blogs? Call it self effacing, humility, insecurity, or what ever, why put yourself down?

I don't mean the kind of entry that is soul searching and usually leads to some kind of spiritual release for the blogger, I mean the "every body hates me", "I am nothing, nobody", "what a waste of space I am" kind of person. Don't they realise that when Jesus said these words:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life..... that He was talking about them too? When He allowed himself to be crucified, he was dying for their sins too.

There are sufficient ill-willed, cranky, peevish people in the world (some even call themselves "christians"), to do the putting down for you, so why put yourself down?

Just give me a call I do the putting down for free........

If you are talking about my last entry I wasn't trying to put myself downn...I was writing about a realization I had yesterday.

well I must admit that you have not been as bad as usual but you are guilty of downputting yourself too much
