In response to the OP (because I'm lazy and didn't feel like reading)
debating a Christian is no way to convert him. The mechanics of a debate harden each side to their own views. If you want to de-convert a Christian, just have a discussion with them about why they believe what they believe and point out any logical incongruity. Be tolerant and respectful, but at the same time genuinely concerned that they're deluding themselves.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
