DeeTee, I once had a pastor who would have had you reporting to the elders for the sort of behavior you've exhibited here. He always preached for us to be strong in defending our beliefs, but that we would be judged harshly for giving christianity a bad name by displaying a bad attitude towards nonbelievers - Jesus was supposed to be able to look into people's hearts and know how they would react to him, you do not have have that ability.
However, since becoming an atheist, I have discovered that this teaching is the exception rather than the rule and many (if not most) believers show up on this doorstep full of pride and swagger rather than love and humility. If there really was a trinity, I wonder how happy they would be with followers who think scoring 'points' is more important than gaining souls?
