Just talk to them- out loud or in your head. You'll get an answer one way or another.

Maybe apathy.  Maybe defensiveness.  Maybe too many questions.\n\nI tried to answer some guy's question the other day and he got upset that I didn't answer yes or no.\n\nWell, his initial question was not a yes or no question and there were at least 3 questions he was asking at once.  If you ask too many questions, people are generally going to pick either the first or the last thing you said.\n\n(Case in point, read my question here:  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlYHfr9enEYxTaAQOGFw.9_sy6IX?qid=1006051030349 and then read some of my answers.  It is a highly specific question.  I think I have asked it in a logical progression.  But it's too much information.  People either didn't read all the way to the bottom or it's just more work than they want to put into an answer.  At least two of them gave me the exact answer I asked them to avoid.  It's too many questions.)\n\nIn his case, I actually did address the two questions at the end of his litany.  But it seemed silly to me to answer those first when they were asked last.  Sometimes the question isn't that great.\n\nAs for answering based on opinion or agenda, we only know first hand what our experiences are and what our interpretations are.  I don't know if we are fully capable of answering anything in a completely unbiased way.  Do people go too far and become unwilling to see anyone else's side?  Sure.  But if they perceive the question as "where do you stand?" of course they're going to tell you.  Or if someone asserts their way is the only way, someone is going to feel compelled to point out all the other ways. \n\nSometimes the questions are not questions at all.  Loaded questions are generally statements with a question mark tacked on at the end.  People who ask them, don't really want to know, but people feel compelled to answer them anyway, because they are generally based on what one group  considers to be untrue.\n\nThe higher the stakes or the contention, the more divided people become.  And this is the division as far as I can see:\n\nAtheist's statement:  "you are stupid if you believe in mythology and any belief in God or anyone higher than ourselves is the equivalent of belief in the Easter bunny," or "Christians are too ignorant to understand science and if they were just smarter, they would see that there is no need for God."\n\nChristians' statement:  "your life would be better if you accepted Jesus as your Savior", or "if you don't see the error of your ways, you are going to hell."\n\nI've not been paying enough attention to the other views (agnostics, pagans, wiccans, Jews, Muslims, etc) to voice their "side."  But you get the idea.\n\nI think part of the problem between Theists and atheists is that if science is wielded by the party who is trying to overthrow God, science necessarily cannot be neutral ground.  Theology is not neutral ground.  \n\nI'm not saying that science is the enemy, but it can't answer everything.  Since it is used by atheists to discredit God, it cannot be considered neutral.\n\nSo were do we meet to talk things out?  What could we decide is neutral?

Yes, it is frustrating.  All you can do is ignore the quantity and look for the quality answers.  those are the ones that matter anyway.

Try asking questions in clear, coherent sentences.  If people have the slightest clue what you're talking about, you're more likely to get responses.
