Theists: What question (from atheists) annoys you the most?

To me, it is not a question but an attitude. Your belief in God and what you do with your life is between you and God just as long as you don't take advantage of another human being.
What bugs me is the lack of relationship. We should be able to dialog without getting angry or calling each other names. The dialog needs to be open, and we should be able to dialog without condemning each other. No matter what side of the fence you swing, we must salvage relationship and respectable living with each other.

As an Atheist, the monkeys question is definitely annoying but I am more annoyed by any question claiming to prove religion.
I recognize that Atheism is not provable. I wish theists would recognize the same, especially when it comes to scripture. The fact that a book, even a very old book contains the story doesn't make it any more proven. If we could rely on old books then Homer would prove the existence of the Greek gods.

If you don't believe in god, then why are you in the religion section?
Others...
If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
Some version of Pascal's Wager or the cosmological argument.
You're just mad at god, aren't you!?
Did you know that Darwin became a Christian on his deathbed?
Q's having to do with the assertion that the US was based on Christianity/The Bible/The Ten Commandments

I'll pray for you! (in response to having said something they didn't like)
You're going to hell!
There's no such thing as atheists!

I tend to not be annoyed by most questions, but Pascal's Wager gets asked way too often. As do questions about gods' invisible nature.

Actually, it's the (mono)theists, not the atheists, questions that annoy me...thinking theirs is the only god. Asking all non-christians why we don't believe in god.

Its not really a question but I've been told I'm going to Hell b/c I'm an Atheist. I usually just laugh b/c if I don't believe in God I don't believe in the devil and Hell. But really I think most religions say you shouldn't be the one to judge other people.

Nothing really. I kind of do not like the "what I should do retard" even though many people think it is clever. But it is kind of annoying when some people criticize us Christians that we are not doing a good job following God, when they do not even try to do it. We are not save because we are good, we are saved because we are forgiven. By the mercy and grace alone. : )

From theists: Why do you believe in evolution? It is 'just' a theory, and there's basically no evidence for it anyway.
Coming in close as number two is 'what do you have to lose if you believe in god'?

Pascal's wager (especially this 'latino lifestyl' person that posts it constantly in answers, not questions), and questions that show theists can't even understand some people really have no use for their god.

From Atheists: I hate when I am asked to physically prove something of a spiritual nature. You can not prove God to the Atheist because the Atheist has not sufficiently developed his/her spiritual sense. It's like proving that light and darkness exist to someone blind from birth.
