They have to think like this to avoid accidentally realizing there are good reasons not to believe in fair tales and magical powers. Of course, usually they aren't so arrogant and dickish about it.
But anyway, I wouldn't let this bother you coming from someone whose mind and way of thinking is so twisted that they can't see the logical flow from "I am afraid of God's wrath" to "I will do what she says so I do not incur her wrath" and instead thing we go from, "I am afraid of God's wrath" to "So I will refuse to believe in her, but remain afraid of her wrath". It's one idiotic belief in a stack of idiotic, contradictory beliefs, none of which make any sense. Yes, it's particularly incensing and insulting, but look who you're talking to. Do you really expect higher thought processes? From someone who has to think with their "heart" because even their brain is just too damned functional to process the information and come out with the answer they want? I wouldn't sweat it.
LOL I was joking sillies. 
I was only behaving in the way that some of you expect all of us Christians to behave. 1. well performed
2. Something seemed a little out charater

Sorry I took it so seriously C-L. That being said I have no expectations of how Christians behave. They behave just as other people do, some are arrogant, thoughtless, [or thoughtful], patient, kind, non threatening, jealous, stubborn, incontinent, accepting or unaccepting of others beliefs or non-beliefs, and so on and on, i.e. acting just like all people.

True that!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

To be fair, a lot of theists - if not the majority - that we tend to get in here usually do behave like that. It's only because we know you that we can share the joke.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
