Long term advice when debating theists.

[robvalue]

I suppose the most frustrating part is when the theist is debating dishonestly, you clearly point out the dishonesty, and they continue regardless. I don't mean appealing to faith, I mean relying on logical fallacies, emotional manipulation and semantic games. I understand someone may not be familiar with logical fallacies at first, of course. But it's pretty clear some people simply don't care. We've pointed them out endlessly on this forum, and the same people keep using the same broken arguments.

I don't expect anyone to drop their beliefs just because of a chat with me, I agree that is a ridiculous expectation. But I hope I give them some things to go away and think about at least.
