Christians are now being questioned by lots of skeptics and even among themselves. Can you list some of those that you find baffling (I mean if you are honest with yourself)?

Irritating and challenging!?!?
None.
I have strong faith/belief in my religion that other people's views or question will not change how I feel about it. I welcome questions from those who wants to know and /or understand, but not from those who want just to pick on others, and make them feel bad about themselves and belittle them.
I learn from those that I agree with, just as well as those I disagree with.

The questions I find most irritating come from people who, based on previous answers, I thought were open minded, then they ask a question that shows just how closed minded they really are. I get irritated at myself because I believed they were something they aren't.
The challenging questions usually come from the same type of people, but after I realize the type of person they really are. When people ask a question and I know that my answer will just be laughed at, or viewed as the "rantings of a believer", it's very challenging to go ahead and answer the question.

I don't find sincere questions irritating, but I don't appreciate the sarcasm behind many questions. Its not necessary. It is amazing to me that some people seem only to want to use others as target practice, when thy would not like it if the same were done to them. I guess that is a lot of what is wrong with the world

first of all the question that confuses me is how is god everywhere. second of all, all of you who said that there is no proof there is plenty of proof. it talks about jesus in other histirical records then the bible scientists have also found objects that fit in perfectly with what the bible says. most people say that this is bull, but all christians will back me up, there is this completly amazingly good feeling you get in your heart and mind when you become a fallower of jesus christ. i can't explain it in a better way then to say that it brings such peace and amazment i've seen it bring grown men to tears!
P.S. to all of you who are wondering about Jesus ask a christian friend they would be honered to answer your question. they won't make fun of you or anything. the feeling you get after you except Jesus as your Lord and savior isn't explainable beyond the fact that its amazing!!!

Nothing about it is irritating. What I find challenging is not being able to UNDERSTAND everything. Also I find that some things are better off with me not trying to understand because I would be thinking with a tainted thought process about something that is sooo beautiful.

I welcome just about any question by someone who wants to know. I do not care for questions that are asked in a spirit of mockery or trying to trap. Those are questions asked by ignorant people who are not trying to learn anything.
I don't mean they must be willing to learn enough to believe what I believe - just that they have a genuine interest in knowing wither what it is I believe, or why I believe it.
If they are not interested, that's alright, just don't ask phony questions. - I usually take for granted that a question is genuine - I would rather err on the naive side, than to turn someone away who really wanted to know, but didn't know how to express themselves.

They have a problem grasping that the only proof of their faith lies in the validity of scripture being a divine revelation so when they use other evidences they are just displaying their ignorance of basic philosophical debate.

How do you know God is real?
Explaining that one is like explaining what the wind looks like or how my voice sounds to a deaf person. Belief in god is based on faith. EVERYBODY has faith insomething. just because I Choose to believe in God does not make me stupid.

I have a hard time with false accusations against Christians. Because it shows either that people believe the false accusation or they are just planting lies to deceive others and turn others against Christ.
