The only problem inherent in debating a tautological fraud like D'Souza is that it is impossible to convince a person of anything when the foundations of their entire position are beliefs which he assumes are absolute and undeniable truth.
A Christian who is true to his tenets is convinced that the Bible is the inerrant word of God because the Bible says so. The idea that it could in any way be flawed or unreliable is always completely dismissed, which effectively closes off all avenues of rational approach. You can never hope to change the mind of someone convinced of such profound idiocy. All you can do is demonstrate that idiocy to a wide audience so that it doesn't infect otherwise healthy minds.
