Ask a theist of any religion the same questions regarding their beliefs and they will either give you word salad, circular reasoning or unsupported claims (just to name a few).

Yeah, that's one that's become very apparent to me since I joined this site... the whole playing chess with a pigeon thing. It just makes it all the more clear that it's psychology that you're dealing with - people's rationalisations etc - rather than any real solid arguments. If it was solid reasoning it wouldn't require devious (wilful or not) methods to debate.
