Rules for Debating With Atheists

Here are some fun rules for those wishing to debate online with atheists....

Gentlemen, I noticed that I was accused of not being familiar with the rules of argument. Therefore, I have drawn up a list of rules, inspired by the atheist suggestions on this thread. This will ensure that the atheists have only docile, compliant, and gullible christians to interact with. This will protect their egos from further bruising by the facts:
 Rules of Engagement:
1. If an atheist doesn't understand the christians's argument, then the christian's argument is wrong.
2.The intensity of the anger with which an atheist presents his argument is directly proportional to the truth of the atheist's argument (Proof by anger).
3.Christians are not allowed to be patronizing, condescending, arrogant, contemptuous, angry, insulting, egotistical, or sarcastic. Only atheists are allowed to speak or act this way, thereby maintaining the irresistible appeal of the atheist worldview as sole and separate property of same.
4.Christians are not allowed to claim truth, because there is no such thing, unless, of course, you are an atheist.
5.Atheists don't have to answer questions because they are here to interrogate christians so as to intimidate them into giving up their worldview. (Hey, it's a calling.)
6.A christian's personal experience, common sense, and logical conclusions from personal research are not admissible as evidence, because these are what persuaded the christian in the first place.
7.Christians must not make claims of having either intelligence or morals, because by definition, christians have neither.
8.None of the christian's questions can be directly answered, but must be redirected into a personal attack against the christian.

There you go, guys. I hope that I have clarified that I do indeed understand that there are rules for debating with atheists. I am posting these rules so all the christians here will understand how to act so that they will be lovable and acceptable to atheists, just like the village idiot. Thanks, guys! You are SO inspiring!
