10. …and call him "Dr. Hovind."



11. Tell them that the universe is too complex to "just exist," and must have been created by a God who "just exists.



12. Use the fact that the Atheist can't fully explain to you how the universe was formed as evidence that god done it.



13. Don't worry about details such as the logistics involved with Noah's ark, how the human race came from two people without incest or why the bible contradicts itself so often.

15. No matter how many times you are corrected and how much evidence you see to the contrary ... Always claim that America is a Christian nation founded by Christians on Christian principles.

31. …and tell him about the special on FOX where you saw it.

47. State that Christianity has done a lot of good along with all the mass murder.



48. When he takes the time and trouble to explain where your analogy or interpretation is at fault, begin your response with a *sigh*, so he'll know how patient you're being.



49. Offer inane apologetics books in the hopes that he hasn't heard the arguments in them a thousand times already.

65. When something wonderful happens, tell him to credit God — he made it happen.

Davidylan is much more deceitful. He looks for threads in which evolution is discussed. He then looks for atheists that may not have a scientific background then asks difficult questiona about evolution so that it would seem that the atheist and evolution are wrong.

Davidylan tried the tactic with me but I ended up destroying his argument and then he retreated to his abusive behaviour. Davidylan is the best troll have encountered so far!

As a Christian, I don't know why I would would want to annoy an atheist or anyone...perhaps give them food for thought. "Annoying" them would be unproductive.

I find the bolded to be interesting and contrary to my experience. I think the overwhelming majority of atheists are evolutionists. It's the only logical conclusion as to the origin of life if you don't believe in a creator/designer.

Religious folk believe their stand is logical as well. The logical conclusion of the vast majority who don't believe in a deity is evolution brought us to our current state. Except you're telling me there are atheists who believe life just popped out from a void.
