while personal agitation due to constant prosyletizing may be the source of motivation for some, there must be other reasons. I know many individuals that are rarely accosted or criticized for their views, yet often rabidly argue and intimidate those who disagree with them.
i can see how constant badgering by those trying to witness to them might frustrate an atheist or agnostic. i know that were i in the same situation, it would tick me off pretty good. still, the breadth of anger and animosity is too wide for this one factor alone.
any other ideas?
Side Note: you really can't fault people for witnessing in most cases. they genuinely believe they have found truth that will change people's lives for the better. if you had the cure for AIDS, surely you tell anyone who would listen about it. even as a believer, it is annoying to me sometimes also. but still, please think about it from their perspective next time they show up at the door. :-)
