Why do Christians keep addressing questions to atheists and then complain about our presence here?

There are always at least five or six questions addressed specifically to atheists here in the R&S questions section, and usually two or three other questions insulting atheists and asking why we are here. If you really don't want atheists around, why do you keep asking us questions?

    we do the same, but i suppose we are allowed to because our other questions are logical and have a point instead of being random drivel.

    Both sides can say this. Ever browse a Christian only answer this? Seems two Christians answer and ten atheists. It goes both ways.

    You all are here to hear/read about Jesus and God's word. Many deny this but they are here daily learning more and more of it. If it were not so, they could and would just leave and never come back. But inside they know as do you that you need Jesus and the word of God.

    bless you.

    And once you know the word of God: we know this will and can be so:

    At least you know some of the word of God and about Jesus dying for sins. The word is a seed and God can make this seed in you grow at any time. Then presto you will be a Christian, keep learning the word of God and about Jesus.

    The more of the word you know, the easier this is to do.

    bless you for knowing/learning some of the bible.

    As others have stated..This isn't a Christian site...It's an open forum. Many Atheists are former Christians and are quite educated about Christianity and the Bible. I'm Pagan that doesn't exclude me from being equipped to reply a Christian question and give advice in context of the Christian religion. If you can not take the warmness...Get out of the kitchen. If ya can't run with the tremendous dogs...Keep on the porch. You get the picture.

    Valid question. I have often wondered myself!

    I guess the saying is correct - if you have 4 religious people in the room you will always have at least 5 opinions.

    I realise you haven't asked the question but rather, you've asked WHY they ask the question... I made a list answering xians asking why we're here ;)

    This year I’m keeping a count of how many times *I* see this get asked.

    ONE hundred & Five !

    This sounds distinctly like the VERY OLD 'why do I come here?' question.

    *drink*

    ****************************Apply what pertains to you ;) **********************

    This gets ASKED SO OFTEN I prepared a list - what do you think of it ?

    1. *drink*

    2. Cos we can.

    3. For teh LuLz.

    4. How about ‘know thy enemy’?

    5. I find religion totally fascinating…

    6. And, I find the followers even more so.

    7. Entertainment (mine) - Education (yours)

    8. AND, cheap points are nothing to scoff at, huh?

    9. Who else would answer all the questions aimed at atheists?

    10. Religion permeates all of our lives whether we like it or not.

    11. A-theism is NOT a religion but it IS a valid religious position.

    12. The cats banned us from their section... cos we aren't cats(get it?).

    13. Coming here, always makes me feel smarter-saner than I really am.

    14. IF rational arguments worked on religious people there’d be no religious people.

    15. No one does boolshit quite like Kent (is that how you spell it?) Hovind and his ilk.

    16. I'm thinking... hang on a mo'… girlfriends cost more than hookers and wives cost more than both … sorry I was thinking about something else.

    17. Cos religion is the enemy of reason – it’s not harmless, innocent, blameless, sunshine and goodness – we can NOT ignore atrocities committed daily in the name of invisible sky primates… http://kuro-kuro.org/archives/1903

    18. Kid, if you and your people didn't go to such extraordinary lengths to try to convince me and my people that all that imaginary little cosmic chappie stuff was anything more than primitive superstition, you and your people would probably never hear from me and my people... just saying.

    19. I come here to study the effects religious memes have on the minds they inhabit-control – it’s like a meme zoo.

    20. The atheist created everything and when everything became too scary he invented religious fantasies to hold FEAR of death at bay - he was here for the beginning - he'll be here for the end ;)

    21. George H.W. Bush: No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God.

    22. You'd have to wonder why I get TUs with this answer - I reckon I cover it all - obviously the fact I'm not afraid of imaginary monsters in de sky scares some people ;)

    i like corn flakes, and somtimes I put sugar on them, other times i just like them plain, I even put chocolate milk on them sometimes. One time there was no regular milk or chocolate but there was some soy milk and so i ate my cornflakes with soy milk, which actually wasnt that bad, but i prefer regular milk. I also eat eggs for breakfast sometimes, even had them for dinner once or twice, which just didnt seem right, I guess they tasted the same but it was still, I dont know, different.

    Our Father in heaven,

    hallowed be your name.

    Your kingdom come,

    your will be done,

    on earth as it is in heaven.

    Give us this day our daily bread,

    and forgive us our debts,

    as we also have forgiven our debtors.

    And lead us not into temptation,

    but deliver us from evil.
