Christians - what do you think?

Proverbs 23:9

Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words.

Proverbs 23:8-10 (in Context) Proverbs 23 (Whole Chapter)

I understand when atheists and others ask real questions and expect real answers. Shouldn't we simply ignore those who are being ignorant and sarcastic?

Update:

Denver is officially silly.

Update 2:

I understand that ignoring them can push them further away, but at the same time I agree with Erm. By answering those types of questions, I feel, we are simply encouraging the behavior.

    Whenever people post questions with the intent to pick fun at us and be rude, they should be ignored. We should be making better use of our time on people who are willing to listen to the gospel.

    I definately agree.

    I have decided not to even bother answering meaningless questions because the answers become just as meaningless.

    I think that if someone askes a question with a hardened heart he will not be able to receive the answer. you end up just entertaining that person.

    but thats just what I think :)

    We should tell them about the good news, but not force it on them. Some people are ignorant, and some just will not listen.

    Maybe we should just ignore you when you are asking question about whether you should follow something that was written in a 2,000 year old holy book, that says ignore people that do not believe in the silly little fables that are written in it.

    Such questions as "Why can't evolution be the process of creationism?"

    I think when you ignore them, you push them further away from Christianity.
