I think my strategy will be a "sound bite" sized idea. There is no chance that I will be able to persuade any Christian in that setting to break ranks, but there are few younger people that may go away thinking about what I have said.
Notice that my motivation has changed since the first week, where I was just interested in talking about religion and faith. The entrenched position of all the other participants has made me change my stance. Not once has anyone said "That's a good point - I'll give that some thought".
From now on I will try to leave everyone with an easily memerable thought, i.e. "Why does the bible support slavery?" or "Why doesn't God kill Satan?" or "How could you live in paradise when your loved ones are being tortured in hell for a thought crime?"
Perhaps if people ponder these things in private they will begin the journey towards shaking off their indoctrination.
