Tip to talking to a Spiritual person:
1.Don't call them mentally ill
Quote:2.Don't use ad-hominemI will suggest you not do the same
Quote:3.Arrogance is discouragedSorry, you already failed that one with the suggestion that you know something us poor atheists haven't been able to figure out. I'll match your arrogance one-for-one. Live with it.
Quote:4.Mockery makes you look like a donkeyMockery works just fine when the person talking is begging to be mocked.
Quote:5.Don't miss-quote themDon't need too. Eventually quoting them word for word is all it takes to highlight the silliness of their "woo".
