A debate/dialogue with regards to religion from my perspective shouldn't be simply asserting the other side is wrong over and over again. It should use reasoning to show they are wrong or remind of basic human innate knowledge that contradicts the religion.
If you want to wade through their Yellow Brick Road fantasy, we do need that. I simply don't myself because I hate that dance.
What exactly is wrong about stating facts? I think it takes both approaches not simply one. This is not about one person. Other people who might be on the bubble might read both your tactic and mine and it could pull them fully out. My intent is not to solely get people to de convert, ANY RELIGION, but to also act as a immunity for those fluxing and or those considering.
There is not one way to attack superstition and most often it takes more than one approach.
X-Christian and X-Muslims exist, and plenty of them and to assume that they all got out of it because of one approach is absurd. Ask enough former believers of any religion and you will find that all of them have different paths that pulled them out.
Not saying you shouldn't do what you do. Just saying I personally don't like the dance and prefer to be blunt.
