It certainly is. You can learn a lot by stirring the pot on AF.org.

I'm kinda bummed though because my go-to argument against fundies on other forums has been:

"Christianity flourished in a pagan empire when Christians simply wanted to live and let live. Isn't it funny how your numbers are dwindling now? You guys have far more influence in contemporary America than you had in ancient Rome. You were fodder for the lions in Rome, yet your numbers grew. These days, you throw your clout around, trying to influence marriage laws, and people leave the religion by droves."

I don't like to use dishonest arguments, so it looks like this one will have to go. Oh well, the only reason I adopted the argument in the first place is because it fit their narrative.
