I usually go fishing online at conservative news sites like Breitbart News Network. I'll click on a story or headline, look down at the comments and either look for key words that Christians use or post a stimulating comment, which they would of course feel the need to correct me or defend their so called faith. Is there any tools or creative weapons of reason and logic that I can use to stump them?
I don't know about stumping them but it helps to point out logical fallacies, like straw men or tu quoque. (thanks to this site where I learned that last phrase)
Right Wingers deflect attention away from the subject being discussed so that they don't have to deal with the facts. Sometimes pointing out where you agree can help keep them from getting so defensive that they don't absorb what you wrote. Not all people on the right are hateful assholes. Some people on the right are afraid or have never given their ideas much thought. Also, don't expect that your posts will automatically change their mind. It might take years for the idea you planted to suddenly take root.
Read the bible. It is a screwed up book and many Christians have only read the nice bits.
Why not run a blog? I would think it would be emotionally difficult to continue responding to crazy comments under Breitbart News.
