1) Quote verses from the Bible to support my arguments? Bible is the infallible word of God (for me) so it would be a very good tool for me to support my views.

How does this sound to you? You should take my argument seriously because I support it with something that you don't take seriously, especially when the support itself is contingent upon my own interpretation of what you don't take seriously.

Be my guest, but take it as a complement if we don't pray for you in return.

How does this sound to you? You should take me seriously because I am inspired by who seems to you to be making a living out of wishthinking, atavistic demagoguery and patronizing intellectual duplicity.

I really hope you are not so morally prostrate, socially insensible and intellectually dead that you actually think parrot pastors and quoting the bible would get you anywhere on a atheist forum.
