The 10 phases on the usual discourse between a Theist and an Atheist.
This is how the usual scenario plays out;
1. A Theist produces an argument for their belief in God (“I believe in God!”)
2. An Atheists produces a counter-argument (“Why?”)
3. The Theist rejects the counterargument citing passages from The Bible;
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
4. The Atheist gets pissed off because their time is wasted and starts a series of verbal attacks on the Theist. (“Ignorant Twat.”)
5. The Theist claims that the Atheist (and Atheists in general) are of a hateful nature, saying insults are the only thing they can do, again citing Bible Verses, usually referencing the Devil.
6. The Atheist, tired with the Theists ignorance chooses to ignore them and go onto something else.
7. The Theist claims victory and ends it with saying the Atheist is against Free Speech for not accepting the “arguments” presented from the Bible.
8. The Atheist responds with a similar reply, saying the Theist is against Free Speech for not accepting the original reply.
9. Everyone’s Time is Wasted.
10. Steps 7 through 10 are repeated into Infinity.
I’m sure anyone who has had a “debate” with a Theist- in particular a Fundamentalist- would be very familiar with this set of events which just continues to spiral into a complete waste of time for both parties.
Just my particular note on this.
I’d like to end, quoting from the King James Version 1611 of The Bible.
1 Peter 3:15;
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.
So if any Christian dodges the question- bring this little quote up to get them back to the topic at hand.

The Peter quote is used by Matt Dillahunty on the Atheist Experience. He cites it as the one thing that began his course to atheism.
But the path you describe is one have been down many times, should be learning to spot the signs by now!.
