I'm about the same...
But, like Rob says, in real life, body language is an integral part of communication and that is totally absent online - except for a few smilies, but these are insufficient.
On the other hand, in real life there are engagements that one just doesn't go for, mostly due to the perception of lack of time... like the one Becca exemplified. If I'm walking somewhere and someone comes to me about god, I just tell them off.... I'm going somewhere and when I do that I just want to get there as fast as possible... it's bad enough that I have some traffic lights forcing me to stop for a minute or so.
Also, the power of google and all the information therein are absent in real life, so I cannot show the deluded how things are in reality... I can only tell them... and that carries as much weight as what the folk from other religions tell them := none. So.... why bother?
Bottom line, in real life, I keep it to myself.
