Long ago, I got to the point that I'd give a theist one civil response. If I got more religious stupidity in response, I'd just keep tearing him new ones until he gave up. That's still how I handle nutters now that I'm doing it on the internet.
I haven't got the same buzz I used to get when debating like when I first joined here if I'm honest.
Some people can be reasoned with. For the others, someone invented the term "chew toy".
