logically or with insults and threats?

My beliefs operate entirely on logic, and I know they're not for everyone. I've had some people on here seek me out to learn more, and I'll gladly give them what they can handle, but I'd never try to convert anyone. That would be ridiculous.

I would answer logically.
I have a sense that you're asking the question in order to get ppl to think about how they interact on this site?
Of course, the problem is that the more defensive ppl among us may believe that the only "logical" way to deal with unanswerable or potentially offensive questions is to insult and hurt the asker as much as possible.
It's sad, we'd learn more if we could resist the urge to attack one another when we feel threatened. It's all based on fear.
Interesting fact for the fire-and-brimstone Xtians out there, since I see that there is one answering above me: Jesus NEVER talked about hell to unbelievers. If you try to convince ppl that their first motivation to learn about Jesus is to avoid hell, you've pretty much missed the entire point of your own religion. Don't defend yourself or your religion: listen carefully, love, and pray.

I would not resort to offensive behavior if my objective was to convince someone of something. I have tried to logically reason with some people, and they have rejected or accepted it based on their own reasons. I have been threatened and insulted by people wanting me to take their faith. That is a picture of vulgarity I do my best to avoid.

I'd tell them in a calm, respectful manner that the Flying Spaghetti Monster has changed my life for the better in every way possible and that just by seeing the positive direction my life took once I accepted the Noodly Master into my life, they should be inspired to do the same.
Or I wouldn't be so satirical and I would answer logically.

I try to never insult or threaten anyone, so your question is easily answered for me.
The word "word" in the bible is the word "logos" in the Greek.
It's where logic comes from.

Logically. According to the scriptures, Christians are supposed to be peaceable people. Matthew 10:14 tells us: "Wherever anyone does not take you in or listen to your words, on going out of that house or that city shake the dust off your feet." We are not supposed to argue our faith, but are to present it to others who want to learn. If they choose to listen to us that's great, but if not, then we are not bloodguilty on their account. They've rejected the teachings of Christ and are accountable to God based on their choice and not because we didn't give them the opportunity to learn.

I'd use love, persuasion and prayer rather than logic and arguments.. but it always does not happen so.. and of course I will use logic where its needed.
