The difference is that, of the two of our groups, atheists aren't going around claiming to have a book filled with inerrant truths that are binding to all people at all times, written by an omniscient father-being. That's you guys, and given that this is the case the least you could do is show some consistency as to the execution and interpretation of these inerrant truths.

I know, I know, the idea that someone might keep an open mind and not venture an opinion on absolutely everything regardless of the completeness of their information must be an entirely alien one to you...

And so should you, if "Dorkins" is your best crack.

Because you do this I see no need in arguing any point with you, because the argument is between yourself and what you want to believe I said.
I was more addressing the heart of the issue, that is, that asking christians to detail their beliefs before getting into a debate isn't entrapment, it's necessary but that even doing that doesn't resolve very much since every christian seems to get it differently. Your initial reply admonished Savannahw for not researching the scriptures before asking; I was merely pointing out that this would be ineffective at best.
