Why do atheists even bother about debating Jesus?

RE: Why do atheists even bother about debating Jesus?
With as much as the Jesus people shove their religion down our throat, it's hard for us to NOT learn a thing or two about their theology.

Even at school, a local community college, I'm not free. There's a church group that comes by periodically and preaches to people. Even when I told one of their people that I'm not interested in hearing their fairy tails, he still insisted on sitting at my table and opening up his bible (this was the point where I got up and left). Then, over the past week or so, the schools' GLBT group got permission to put fliers on the bulletin boards telling people about our group. Most of them were taken down and replaced with the same Jesus fliers the church people like to pass out.

And my general rule still is as follows: religious people leave me alone and don't preach to me and I won't tell them how silly their religion is. If they break that and they preach, I'm probably going to tell them some of the sick, sadistic stuff in the Bible and some of the absurd verses and some of the direct contradictions. Yes, I know these things and they aren't even hard to find. The reason non-believers see them isn't that we study the Bible especially hard; it's that we're willing to look at it with a critical eye.
