If you're wrong we just lost this one from ever speaking to atheists ever.
The last forum I was on several years ago a young Christian girl in high school came onto the forum and everyone went apeshit on her just like this. So she bailed. I sent her my personal email address and I had a back and forth, very productive conversation with the girl (with her mom premonitoring my responses first for obvious reasons) where we discussed a lot of things relating to why a person who was raised Christian later turned to Atheism and my justifications for doing so.
I think I did more good than everyone on the forums throwing continuous rancorous insults at her.
Did your young Christian girl say anything like this?
"Also, I did some research on something else. Apparently the total amount of water on earth is "1.386x10^21 liters", whatever that means. I don't know what the X and the ^ is for, but I'll continue anyways."
She...doesn't...know...what the 'X' is for. But she'll continue anyways. If we're wrong, why would we want her talking to atheists?
However, you make a good point about dogpiling on people for mere ignorance. If I thought that was the case here, I would be agreeing with you.
