Discussing Christianity with a Christian.
It just isn't possible to have a reasonable discussion with a person so completely devoid of education and logic.
194 Contradictions in the Bible
Theists can't see these errors in their perfect word from their god. The fundamentalist seem particularly unable to grasp that documents that are self contradictory are rarely sound: say Mein Kampf for example. If something is so self defeating and flawed why follow it at all.
194 contradictions in the bible lays direct and clear contradictions in front on theists. Don't bother pointing this out to theists, they just don't care about technicalities like this. Religions do not value learning unless it is rote learning the bible. They can tell you what it says and where it is in the bible but they've never looked at it and said: 'What does this mean?'
Innvista goes further further illustrating contradictions between new and old testaments and internal errors in the old testament.
Theists can claim that none of this matters because they have faith in the whole show. I used to accept this idea. It was OK for them to love their god and want to go to heaven. When religion started to put their psuedo-scientific creationist theory up as a competing theory to evolution theory they lost my neutrality.

Countering the run of the mill theist arguements.
Good smart arse one liners to counter theists:

Morality is the domain of the theist.
I am getting tired of hearing this arguement. Because I don't beleive in your god I can't know not to kill people? This arguement fails with the term 'Holy War'.
Religion just gives a different regret process, it doesn't guarantee that you wont do bad things. Some examples or immoral stuff both theists and atheists are guilty of:
. child abuse
. cheating on spouse
. stealing
. tax evasion
. ... this list is pointless.
Both sides do bad things. Same god does not equal good.
