Recently we've had a couple of "drive-by" theists grace us with their presence under the pretext of "desiring a rational and friendly debate with atheists." Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seemed to me a couple of those "rational" debates ended up rather like this....
LOL

YES! But, regardless of who they are, they usually end up just wanting to call it a draw anyway.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on that, Kata. And it wasn't even necessary for me to watch your posted link to jump to my conclusion.
Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.
@Kata Re: "Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes."
No it isn't.
No no, hold your head like this and then go, "WAAA"
Try it again.
We always have these drive-by theists that feign an "honest discussion" and want nothing but to proselytize. the reasons vary but the one thing that they have in common is insecurity.
@Myk
I reject your statement, sir, based on the fact I have trouble determining if that is a tie or an ascot in your profile pic. It simply has to be one or the other. It cannot be both.
@Tin-man
It's a silk noose!
@Myk
Oh, really? And can you PROVE it is actually SILK? Or are we just suppose to take your word for it? How do we know it isn't rayon, or satin, or maybe even a poly-cotton blend? SHOW SOME FUCKING PROOF, MYK!
Also blended fabrics are an abomination to the lord. Ahem....
Preach it, Sheldon! Preach the Word to those heathens, brother!
Every time they think they find some evidence.

You are all completely wrong. I cannot prove it, but I FEEL it to be true. And if you start trying to use your arrogant science, logic, and sound reasoning to persuade me otherwise, I am prepared to deliver any one of many patent excuses and/or deflections to counter and/or totally ignore your vain attempts to help me think in a critical manner. Because everybody knows that if A=B and B=C then there is NO WAY a dolphin could ever drive a car like a human regardless of what evolution says. I came here to debate, not to be proven wrong. Shame on you mean and nasty people for trying to hurt my feelings.
Don't cry tinman! You will rust!
@Logic Re: Rust
Hey, just because I'm made of metal, and just because salt water has a proven track record of corroding and rusting metals does NOT necessarily mean I will rust. Because if I BELIEVE I will not rust, that is all that matters. So there!
@Tin-Man
Use some Coca-Cola (Coke?), it is some sort of HOLY drink based on an plant not unlike Moses' ardent bushes.
Instead of actually stating my own arguments, I will instead just keep linking to the arguments of other people from very biased sources like gotquestions.org, and then call you “close-minded” for not taking me seriously!
Also, in the off-chance that you actually do read and fact-check my cited arguments, I will simply copy-and-paste the argument again and again and again, constantly pretending that you didn’t read it and are actually just assuming things.
Furthermore, when one of the Bible’s arbitrary laws is questioned, I will also try very desperately to back up said law with a link to a scientific article that is completely unrelated to said law, without ever expecting you to actually click the link and see for yourself that the article does anything other than justify the Biblical law.
Then I’ll just claim victory, because I’m so holy and clever, and you are all fools for not believing in my invisible sky-daddy because my 2000-year old storybook says that you are. It’s infallible because it says it’s infallible, and to Hell with any and all counterexamples to it’s claims.
BTW this satire was inspired by a few “arguments” I had with mailman.
@Rohan Re: "It’s infallible because it says it’s infallible..."
No, it isn't.
And every drive by thinks they are bringing something new original and special to the debate that will instantly convert every one of us.
Thanks for the link Mykcob, every room in that sketch reminds me of arguing with Breezy.
@Old Man
Hey! It was ME who posted that link! You did that on purpose!
@ Tin Man
No it wasn't.
That will be one pound sterling thankyou.
@Old Man
I already paid. Hah!
Actually it is more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OQ53XFCO1A
The atheists, at least, are actually saying something.
I'm like this when i saw the video

Tin Man you are having waaay too much fun with this.
@DancingFool
I most certainly am NOT. Your obviously ill-informed assessment of my degree of pleasure is a blatant and unprovoked attack on the social behaviors of carnivorous rabbits and serves only to demonstrate your lack of understanding in regards to using tadpoles as a tasty salad topping.
@Tin-man
I thought you were supposed to let the tadpoles complete metamorphosis and in the words of Mr Hilton:
"Oh, we use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose."

@Alembe
Oh-HO! So I see you are one of those "Baby Frog Believers"! Are you DAFT, man??? Well, I should have known! I've had my suspicions about you all along. And what, exactly, is YOUR proposed method of keeping the baby frogs on the salad while eating? Because from what I have seen and heard, even you Baby Froggers cannot even decide on the best method amongst yourselves. Otherwise, why are there so many Baby Frog denominations? Also, according to some vague ancient scriptures a guy I once knew told me about, it was actually TADPOLES that were originally worshipped as the TRUE salad toppings. You silly Frog Believers are just delusional and refuse to listen to reason. Personally, I blame the Frogger video game for all the madness. It has totally corrupted the minds of our children.
@ Tin Man
and there goes me cup of tea down me front...fair go mate a bit of warning if you're going to be that funny.
@Tin-Man,
You ask, “And what, exactly, is YOUR proposed method of keeping the baby frogs on the salad while eating?”
I interpret the passage “a sword shall pierce through thine own sole;” (Luke 2:35) to also include Crunchy Frog on a toothpick stuck in the lettuce.
