I've just realised that I can't debate theists

Tempus, I actually need to add more weight to that thank you. That series of videos was fucking awesome!

I find it hard to articulate how good the series is - it definitely changed my own thinking and approach towards religion and philosophy in general. I particularly appreciated the early parts where he takes you in his shoes through his former beliefs. I'm glad you liked it as much as I did If you're not already aware of them, youtubers 'TheraminTrees' and 'QualiaSoup' have good videos too.

Going by your previous suggestions, I'll definitely check those out.

So, I was debating a christian the other day, and they said something utterly ridiculous - as they are wont to do - and I couldn't contain my temper. This got me to thinking; I've never been able to debate with theists, without losing my temper.

Every time that someone quotes scripture, or uses circular reasoning to support their argument, it really pisses me off to the point where I see red. I'm talking spots before my eyes and veins popping in my neck. Picture stressed Eric; only with a handsome Irish guy as the main character.

Anyway, can anyone give me advice on how to better handle these situations?
