Hi Tackattack
I have a few pet peeves when talking to christians which i wish they would understand.
1) You're angry at god, perhaps for not stopping evil.
No I'm not, I don't believe there is a god to be angry at, when i show frustration when you say that it's because you lack basic understanding of my position. Nor am I angry (at god) because evil happens, I am no more upset at your god when bad things happen as i am upset at superman or iron-man for not stopping bad things. I think bad things just happen.
2) Your have been blinded to the truth
Then the 'truth' cannot have value to either god or me so far as it concerns me.
3) Denial of clear history and or knowledge
The bible says this happened so it does not matter what science, or historians, or any other method of gaining information says.
(like the flood for instance) usually followed by some declaration of a scientific conspiracy. This last one i feel embarrassed for the believer themselves on their behalf.
