It's a pointless wankfest.
As I said the original idea was more of an agenda item at a committee meeting than anything conducive to a discussion. And limiting it to christians only (especially the type we get here, of which cl is far more typical than some people believe*) only turns it into an echo chamber of "atheists are mean, why don't they believe what we tell them?"
*Edit: it's my experience that christians (and other religionists) on places like here and religious fora online are very atypical to the vast majority of religious people in real life. They tend towards fundamentalism a lot more easily and readily than most. In real life I had no problem spending two years working with a group of nuns, I wouldn't last five minutes in the same room with any of the religious posters on this site.
