I would like to think that Christians try to answer such questions in wisdom and love rather than in anger, but such is not the case! The Bible says, "Woe unto the world because of offenses"! They are "baited" by what they perceive to be an attack on the foundation of their beliefs and let's face it, no one likes to be made a fool of, especially in what is thought to be a defenseless, weakened position! I don't possess the wisdom of Solomon, but I ask that God guide me in such that i can HELP and not HURT.

We have to stand up for the truth,however offensive the questions may be .
Besides the people that ask these questions,may one day just be struck by the truth of a righteous christians answer....and change their lives.

Because a true Christian will feel this stirring inside to defend the faith. If we get burned, we just find another question to answer.

We must resist the Devil and his demons in the name of Jesus Christ and he(devil) must flee. Because the devil is already defeated and condemned to Hell.
"resist the devil" was found 1 times in 1 verses in the New Testament.
James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4
1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? 13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

GUILT,
it is what drives them, it consumes every moment of their lives.
So, when they see a question that could even be remotely a threat to their way of thinking they take it as a personal attack and react accordingly. As you will see by the christian answers to your question.

stamping out anyone speaking heresy or a chosen faith is what is necessary for belief to continue
if less people oppose, they get their Utopia they so long for
but since reality is larger than any faith, it's like putting out fires of ideas with squirtguns in a forest fire
