I've just realised that I can't debate theists

RE: I've just realised that I can't debate theists
You can't debate rationally with someone who didn't arrive rationally at their conclusions. I forget who said that.

The best method is not to let frustration make you angry, simply concentrate on their points and follow through. Even the best apologist can't get around the fact that their belief is based upon trust that their "holy text" of choice is telling the truth to the exclusion of all other possibilities for its existence.
Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic.
