You are sticking your nose into other peoples CULTURE.
Guess what sort of reaction you are going to get.
If it works out for you the way it worked out for Christians sticking their nose into other cultures, then you've got a pitiful future of disease, death, slavery and servitude to look forward to.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

a) You're outnumbered - democratically, ethnically, numerically, militarily...
b) Their culture doesn't want you sticking your nose in their sovereign business.
Lion, lets get something perfectly clear. You have been on an atheist website for how long?

No you have the armour of willful ignorance. It is only true in your head because you desperately want to believe it. If you wake up you will feel alot better not having to defend such bunk.

Humn, clarify please.
I simply am pointing out that when one gets offended by a challenge to their own claims, they need to consider that all they are doing is protecting their own ego out of fear of being wrong.
Anyone who runs from questioning, even when being polite about it, it is a sure sign they have something to hide.

Nobody is running from questions.
...I see a few theists getting banned for asking prohibited questions though.

There are many reasons to refrain from answering questions, many of them perfectly acceptable- like you really dislike the asker and know them to be dishonest, so why waste your time?
It's a bad habit on every type of forum to claim victory when someone won't respond. It may be that you've won, but it also may be that you're such an asshole that the askee is just done with you.
If anyone EVER catches me doing this (claiming victory because someone has stopped talking to me), please smack me a good one. I hate it.

If the questions are site prohibited then you saw internet justice.
