I agree that it happens a disturbing amount. It's because it's easier to argue against a stereotype than deal with someone's actual position.

However the post here is particularly endemic of such a thing. They don't have to argue with us because don't even exist! I also like the touch that we should all be agnostics at the least. Really assholes? If there were all this evidence of god that you claim (with mandatory meaningless bible quotes) then agnosticism is just as illogical. Lets say the evidence of god was just as good as the evidence of toasters. Would someone who denied the existence of toasters make any more or less sense than someone who wasn't sure whether or not they existed? No. The real reason Christians perfer dealing with an agnostic is that an agnostic is less likely to straight up tell them to their face that they are wrong. Christians executed people for centuries for telling them they are wrong about even small parts of their doctrinal nonsense. It's always been a very insecure religion.

There is one thing that I wanted to add though that I think clearly distinguished Christian straw-manning from Atheist straw-manning is that Atheists by and large give Christians a chance to respond. Most Christian forums ban anyone who disagree with them and most Atheist forums welcome outside opinion and have a respect for free speech.
