Stump the Christian?

Stump the Christian?
How can I corner, of course with my words, Christians and make them feel they have no choice but admit to rethinking their position or part of their positions when it comes to the bible or their god? 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?

Use words that are more than 3 syllables long. 

It's not difficult to stump religious people. It's getting them to notice they've been stumped that's the trick.

There is no guaranteed way to make someone consider changing their mind, obviously. Reasons for believing in god are often emotional, not logical.

Why would you want to 'stump' anybody?

Make them justify their practice of scripture cherry picking.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Beat me to it, Neimenovic. If only it were that simple; we could wipe out religion in a month.

People tend to make decisions based on what they believe. Voting for a politician to office for faith based reasons is not wise and effects almost all of us. And for other obvious reasons too I have an interest in getting people to think about why we believe what we believe. So making Christians think twice about how and where they get answers from can be fun, but I'm not mean unless they're mean to me first, and even then I'll give them more than one chance to be nice.

Ask them why they would be Muslim instead if they were born in a Muslim country. Statistically, almost all Christians would have been. So apparently the truth depends on where you are born.

Fair enough I guess

Like I said though, in most cases faith is based on feelings, not reason and getting people to analyze their emotions can be real tough, logical argumentation won't always work....if at all

Ask them why don't they follow the OT because jesus in the bible literally said he didn't come back to change anything.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

It is impossible to stump a christian, they are always willing to pull more bullshit out of their asses to justify their inane beliefs.
