Why are we so quick to respond to the questions of our faith with such hostility. I understand that some of the questions are asked purely to antagonize us, but so what? Let them polk fun at us, we are blessed when they do.
But some of the questions may be asked out of curiousity, and no one will ask further if they are met with sarcasm and hostility. I am not trying to start a fight here, or throw stones, because not everyone is doing this. I'm asking if we can be above the negativity, and be the shining light?
All opions welcome.

Sweet Sweet Jane..I am terribly sorry that people judged you. I'm sure you know they had no right.

Just remember to use the parenthesis marks when dealing with Atheists...example: ((((Mr. Poopy Pants Atheist))))...then everything is ok and no one is offended..
Seriously...I personally avoid personal attacks and try to stick to the issues being discussed...This does not mean that I will never be perceived as offensive...The Gospel is offensive to those who do not believe...But it can be shared in a loving manner without name calling or the use of condecending remarks...A little bit of humility and tact goes a long way,when presenting or defending a point of view.
(((Kayne)))) ((((Rammie)))...two examples of loving Christian women that "Sweet..Jane" would no doubt, take a liking to..

Can you remember a past moment when you discovered that you actually discovered that your feelings changed about some concept?
This opportunity is available for all of the yet-to-be Christians. Sooo, some of these folks might end up sharing much of your life.
Consider brotherhood.

That's a very noble sentiment. It's a shame that it is so hard to distinguish legitimate questions from leading questions and jokes on here...

The best and most effective response to any query, negative or positive, is a positive and loving response....
with a touch of humour sometimes :)
