It's a Christian apologetics book, and it starts out painful in its smugness, strawmanning, and well-poisoning; and promises to get worse. I suppose it will be educational on the topics of slick debating tactics and rehashed arguments, but I may long for a clean death before I finish reading it...or at least need a new desk after I wear mine out banging my head against it.

They do not know you very well. At least, on this topic.
I'm curious what action they've taken to understand your position in turn.

Lol. Missed that, sorry.
Have you got any ideas yet?
