For example, from this thread alone in response to me:
"There's nothing to debate. Either you acknowledge facts or you do not."
and
"Naturally not. We all know how these 'debates' go. You'll do your bit about the value of Christianity and the validity of the Bible. The atheist will respond with criticisms based in reason, history and logic. This will go back and forth for a bit until you invoke the need to accept things based on faith, at which point it is not longer a debate.
For the record, it isn't immediately clear that one can have a 'rational' debate about religion."
My understanding of atheist's tendencies is not completely unfounded. I will grant that it may be an over generalization since many Atheists will disagree on a variety of topics. But you'll notice that the atheist has "reason, history, and logic" on his side, but I just have a "bit" to do about the value of Christianity. Of course, these people are not willing to actually debate.

It is much more coherent to have a real dialogue than to have a bunch of people chiming in all at once. What I can't understand is: Why are you so nervous about it?
Someone has already accepted your challenge. Did you miss it?
I may have. They haven't sent me a PM.

Ask the admins here to set up a one on one debate. It will be just you and one other person.
Why am I nervous? I don't trust people on the internet, and really don't trust christians coming to an atheist forum and immediately wanting to debate.
Why not?
