Why are the arguments of atheists so insulting and degrading?

You talk to the wrong people. You should move up a gear. And if someone believes in God, why does it annoy you since you dont insist on them wearing the same cloths as you or listen to the same music as you or laugh at the same jokes as you. It is called diversity and if you can prove beyond a doubt that there is no God do you think anyone will go to Church or worship God.
It is YOUR failure to deliver that is the real problem so its live and let live.
We dont have to go round disproving EVERYTHING because that is not required but the mind of a scientist requires that a proposal or theory should be proved. If I say for instance that there is no God, I will present it as unscientific opinion, but if I want to constantly criticise others for their unscientific approach to God and I am constantly in their faces banging on about it and presenting pseudo scientific heresay as conclusion, someone is bound to ask for some solid proof and that is where you will need to come up with something solid. I know there are no fairies for instance but I dont mind people saying they have seen them because that is their business. I just say that I think they dont exist because I have not seen any.
The same with ghosts. Some claim to have seen them but I have not but I cant seriously take it as my mission to go round saying its all fibs and they are stupid when I cannot say with 100% proof and confidence that there are none, get me?

well i doubt that person swore at you and this sounds made up, just question of philosophy. but another person would have told you, i dont pray to allah or zeus because they are not the real god in my beliefs. you yourself do not know if god exsists so you doubt yourself in the back of your head always. scientist cant even tell you how were created! yet they want to prove that god doesnt exist. lol your question is just part of yourpride and ego and you want to see what you can get out of it but i cant blame you.

Because YOU are using the wrong methods in trying to understand it!
Trying to prove God's existence pre-supposes that He is within the real of formal logic. I make my living from logic, and no, the question can not be decided this way.

I don't agree with religious people pushing their beliefs on others however i do think they have a right to believe in something that gives them great comfort and faith without people telling them they are wrong and insulting them for it when they do not know that person.
Just because you don't believe in something they do, you don't have the right to push your belief on them either.
If you don't wish to hear or see something you have the choice to either ignore them and move on or sit and debate it without insulting them or telling them they are wrong, respect them and you should receive respect back.
This isn't just aimed at you it is for people who insult others unnecessarily, obviously if you got no respect from them in the first place then you are likely to retaliate.

Not all religious people say such stupid things. Some of us actually try and prove God's existence by using facts and logic.

Because religion requires a lot of blind faith and just believing. But as soon as someone questions their religion they can't come up with any good arguments. I really would love to have a decent conversation with someone who's answer to every question is you just gotta have faith or believe or pray.

Because your heart is so hard, and you mind made up that even things that make perfect sense sound foolish to you. Why do you even ask what we think because you don't really care you just do it for the sake of argument, and that is truly sad.

Perhaps to religious people the arguments of atheists also appear foolish and unconvicing.

Between you AND the believer in this exchange, the only thought that comes to mind is "When twits collide".
