Finally, a Christian with morels! I knew you existed somewhere. And no, I'm not being sarcastic. I genuinely think you're an admirable person if you truly do practice what you preach.
You seem to have the understanding that, just because someone questions something and doesn't blindly accept everything they're told doesn't necessarily mean they're trying to prove that God doesn't exists, or they're Satan worshippers. Bravo!

Those that chose to answer questions using foul language and hateful remarks when having a discussion with someone else, especially a non believer, has accomplished nothing put substantiate the feelings of those that hate us any way.
It is a sad commentary on all of Christianity.
Some of these people that call them selves Christians should really try reading the Bible instead of all these books by big name preachers.
By the way I'm a Preacher, Evangelist and Author.

Yes, please educate me on how Balaam's donkey talked without human vocal cords, lips, tongue, and throat muscles to make human speech. Also, educate me on how the sun and moon stood still in the sky when this is scientifically impossible. Also, where are heaven and hell, what does a soul look like, what happened to all the dead people that Jesus and the apostles raised from the dead, how could a boat as big as Noah's ark float on the water without collapsing under its own weight, and why is it that Jesus could feed thousands with only a few loaves of bread but can't save a single starving child nowadays?

Educate? Counsel? How pompously you prove your own point about making yourself look bad. Who do you think you're kidding aside from yourself?
Some christians get pissy about being questioned because they are insecure in their belief. The godbots who get the most antsy are the ones who know their crap is bu**sh** and need to convince themselves daily.
It is only the christians who deal in the real world (recognizing evolution, the big bang and abiogenesis) or those who don't care about convincing others that don't get upset by questions. The strongest argument doesn't fear questions, it welcomes them.

Because they are unsure of their own beliefs and cannot communicate them well enough to debate without rancor and hostility. A little Christian tolerance would be nice!

Maybe because they doubt what they believe is truth, or don't walk close enough to Christ to know how to share the truth, and overlook the critics.

"...and counsel non believers..."
May also want to address the superiority complex while you're at it.

If people come here to attack God and pick a fight, why should they be disappointed?
