So I'll restrain myself the best I can.
Why does the name Jesus anger you?
It's existentialist. (existentialism) a loss of personal identity; a feeling of being an anonymous cog in an impersonal social machine (food for thought)
do you accept evolution or the sciences?
No and Yes,
To clarify there are two types of science, one we benefit from.
1. Operation science uses the so-called "scientific method" to attempt to discover truth, performing observable, repeatable experiments in a controlled environment to find patterns of recurring behavior in the present physical universe. For example, we can test gravity, study the spread of disease, or observe speciation in the lab or in the wild. Both creationists and evolutionists use this kind of science, which has given rise to computers, space shuttles, and cures for diseases.
2. Origin science attempts to discover truth by examining reliable eyewitness testimony (if available); and circumstantial evidence, such as pottery, fossils, and canyons. Because the past cannot be observed directly, assumptions greatly affect how these scientists interpret what they see.

So, for example, how was the Grand Canyon formed? Was it formed gradually over long periods of time by a little bit of water, or was it formed rapidly by a lot of water? The first interpretation is based on secular assumptions of slow change over millions of years, while the second interpretation is based on biblical assumptions about rapid change during Noah's Flood.
This here is quite a bit of beef with "atheists" as there needs to be real proof or evidence. NOT supposition. The difference is that I WANT PROOF
Your presuppositions will not allow you to examine without bias the evidence that I present to you for God's existence.
Your presupposition is that there is no God; therefore, no matter what I might present to you to show His existence, you must interpret it in a manner consistent with your presupposition: namely, that there is no God. If I were to have a video tape of God coming down from heaven, you'd say it was a special effect. If I had a thousand eye-witnesses saying they saw Him, you'd say it was mass-hysteria. If I had Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in the New Testament, you'd say they were forged, dated incorrectly, or not real prophecies. So, I cannot prove anything to you since your presupposition won't allow it. It is limited.
Your presupposition cannot allow you to rightly determine God's existence from evidence -- providing that there were factual proofs of His existence. Don't you see? If I DID have incontrovertible proof, your presupposition would force you to interpret the facts consistently with your presupposition and you would not be able to see the proof.
I must ask you, what kind of evidence would you accept that would prove God's existence? I must see what your presuppositions are and work either with them or against them.

Am I saved? Plain and simple: No...wait. Saved from what?
Does it concern you that you have broken God's laws? Here is a quick witness:
God came as a man here on earth to pay for all your sins. By sins I mean breaking the Ten Commandments which are God's law. The law was made as a mirror for us. In the same way, we don't realize what a bad state we are in until we look into the "mirror" of the Ten Commandments. Have you stolen, lied, dishonored your mother and father etc. then you broke his laws, and the penalty is death. Revelation 21:8 says all liars have their part in the lake of fire. But God doesn't want that to happen to you, nor do I.

Jesus died on the cross so that he took the punishment for the sins of this world for your sins and my sins; he was being bruised for our iniquities, the Bible says. He was paying our fines in his life's blood so we can leave the courtroom on the Day of Judgment. He rose from the grave and defeated death. What we have to do is repent, which means turn away from sinning and trust in Jesus, that He died on that Cross for your sins and put your faith in him. Let him lead your life, then you will be forgiven of all your sins and have eternal life. Isn't that great news!
Do you think that everybody else should believe in Christ as the "savior"?
YES! without they will perish (John 14:6)
Look secular humanism is a religion also and that is the one you have chosen for your life and free will allows that. Evil abides in you, you don't have the strength to get away, without Jesus. ( 2 John 7)
A lot of atheist talks about a need for "evidence of God" and they also think that the Bible is not historical evidence at all. You have heard of Julius Caesar and I am sure you believe that he existed right? Well there were 10 manuscripts of antiquity that explained who he was as we know him today. 10 that is it, in one language, everything we know today about him came from just those 10 manuscripts. Do you know how many manuscripts of antiquity about Jesus? Any guess?
The New Testament we have either in fragments or partials within 25 years, 40 years of events we have 5,300 partials or complete manuscripts in Greek (the original language) and 19,000 other languages. You want a reliable book and you believe Julius Caesar existed? You can believe that Jesus existed and he did exactly what it says in the Bible because you have eye witness accounts that were willing to die for it.

I am sure you are not ready to die for the cause of secular humanism or atheism, right? The truth is you will, you will go to hell because you have sinned, not because you don't believe in Jesus. Jesus is the only way you can avoid that Day of Judgement but you will go to hell for breaking God's law.
What do you want from me? Are you looking for answers about the Bible, are you looking for justification for your beliefs? are you looking to get saved and need to know how? Are you looking for a good fight? Are you just looking to promote your agenda? I will be here for anyone who God leads to converse. Do you feel lead by God to talk to me? Do you feel the devil lead you to me because of your anger towards Christians or Christianity? Do you need a friend?
Are you looking for resources to find the truth? If so then I am hear for you.
For Him,
