I have this friend who converted to christianity just last year and he is quite extreme about his faith. Last night we were hanging out and he started to get all philisophical on me.

I was SO tempted to challenge his faith there and then...but the thing is, I am terrible at verbal debates.

Care to share tips on verbal debating? How should one start and respond..etc..

I'm the same way. When my sister told me she was a psychic I couldn't say anything without pissing her off. :/

Hitchens' is definitely my favorite debater, he's much better than Dawkins. I saw him debate live in Connecticut and it was brilliant.
