"You are in the wrong because all you have to say is negative things like 'There is no God.' You shouldn't be allowed to say anything because all you can say are negative things. Christianity is better because we are more positive."
Not if you are an atheist. Heck, even to other religious people, how is "Believe or you go to Hell" or "We are all terrible sinners and don't deserve God's love" positive? Personally, I would much rather hear that I am not being watched by an invisible, all powerful being that could send me to an eternity of torture by imposing rules I never had a say in.
Many atheists find it very comforting to know there is nothing out there, that when they die they just disappear rather than sticking around forever. And that when bad things happen to them, it's not some awful being doing it to them because he has some mystical plan he won't even tell me about.
Even if you don't agree and the thought of some Sky Faerie who you can blame everything bad on rather than taking responsibility for your life comforts you, you have to realize that it doesn't comfort EVERYONE and some people want to hear these messages. Some people need to hear them, just like you need to hear yours. Your messages to us do not feel positive, they are just as offensive. So how come you get to have your Christmas displays and public billboards, but we can't? Because you are ignorant and hypocrites.

Which is a more likely explanation for that voice you heard? Your mind playing tricks on you, or...
When human beings die an unexplained, scientifically undocumented entity detaches from their physical bodies somehow, and roams the earth and occasionally makes noises or talks for some reason, even though they have nothing corporeal enough to vibrate the air to make sound waves?
You be the judge.
