True. Sometimes its fun to just drop little logic packets and watch them try to fathom it.
It's tempting, but I think it does more harm than good. At least in my experience I felt like the atheist was coming across as ignorant and the fact that they were asking all these questions showed that they weren't taking the time to process what I had said but instead had their fingers in their ears.
Instead if we just give them one answer per question then both sides know where the discussion is at. But yes, I know what you mean!!
