I think that some Christians understand they are hurting atheist and do so purposely because they believe it's the only way to reach them. I think some Christians do it to impress Christians who do hurt atheist. I know all those who do this are child like in their thinking and ignore the words of Jesus. Then you have Christians who try to witness and be polite and are laughed at from both sides. You need to remember when a Christian is speaking to an atheist about God's word he/she has a very hard time being honest without bring up what God's word says and you know what, many of those Christians have already applied those very things to their lives, I know I have, no one is harder on me than myself because I realize that I need all of God's word so my life can be better. The word of God has brought more hurt (justified hurt) to me than all the atheist on this site have over the past 8 years and I accept that hurt because I know it's justified and in the end will make me a better person/Christian.
If you want me to respect your choice to become a better Christian, why can't you respect my choice to become a better atheist? Do you expect me to accept that you are in a better place to know what is right and best than I am? What makes so many Christians hold such an un-humble position? What makes you fit to make such a choice for others?

It doesn't help your position to point out you are just as disrespectful toward theists who are not Christians as you are to atheists. Just say you do not respect the right of your fellow man to decide what to believe for himself, and leave it at that.
