Theists and Atheists alike have a lamentable tendency to think that the people in the other group live in holes, and have not heard the common arguments which seem convincing to them. From the slew of "CHRISTIANS EXPLAIN THIS" threads to the "if people evolved from apes, how come there are still apes" type questions, many of these debates take place in a somewhat condescending atmosphere. If I had a quid for every time I've read something on the lines of "the question which destroys Atheism / christianity" I'd be less annoyed when I read them.
Appeals to logic will not destroy any religions or any beliefs. We can show that a doctrine is illogical, but who really follows the doctrine these days? Everyone has their own version.
