What is the correct way to ask a question in this forum?

From what I have read, it seems like the proper format is:

"Atheists: (insert statement here demonstrating a complete ignorance of a well understood scientific concept,) doesn't that prove the existence of (God/Allah/Leprechauns/etc..?)

    You're close but not correct. It is more like;

    "Atheists, (as you have never been able to disprove the existence of God, demonstrating thus the inability to comprehend historical documents") why do you accept historical data from as long as 5000 years ago such as the history of China for example, but without reason not apply the same reasoning to historical documents proving the existence of God and his works? How is that even remotely logical?

    This is the preferred format, as it is more realistic in it's support of both history and science.

    If you really want to become a beloved member of the R&S elite, ask good questions that people can answer without displays of childish anger.

    Tell excellent jokes.

    Ask our opinions without telling us how stupid we must be for believing one way or another.

    There's way too many poorly-educated teenagers here who are just longing to insult adults any way they can. Don't be one of those.

    That's exactly correct. Just like you need to speak in the form of a question on Jeopardy ... you need to ask using the format you stated in here.

    Source(s): atheist

    I, too, am tired of this non-sense bashing.

    It's fun, but it's not educational progress most of the time.

    I wish there are more proper questions that want sincere, non-invasive answers.

    The correct way is to be genuine and nice, I guess.
