Wow, I'm now a true atheist!
Again I'm not targeting frodo, but when people defend religious beliefs they rarely will ever back down or concede points. In fact, frodo does concede points more than most do, I'll give him that.
The beliefs form their own defences, and no argument showing them to be irrational is allowed to stand; some way of refuting it is always preferable. Even if it involves making other massive assumptions to support these side-arguments, the mind can convince itself it's being rational.
That is my take on it, given my observations of hundreds of religious arguments from all sorts of people.
I'll add that frodo is a good deal more reasonable and polite than most theists I've dealt with.
