To see it in action, read this thread: The Redefinition of Marriage In particular, note how they initiate the religious strawmen arguments, complain about it, and then ignore Reid and others say "stick to the addressing points I am making, which are political" which they continue to ignore, so by the time MNIJ turns up, a fundy atheist in the tradition of a Pavlovian dog, all he can open with is yet another selective quote from the bible, doing his best to take the conversation of course to an area he can froth.
On the other hand, the tactic sometimes works, as there are the occasional fundy Christian that will come along and play the "saw" to the fundy atheists "see". And others that try to patiently address the ignorance evident in only reading the bible with grey-tinted lenses.
Never-the-less, an interesting debate if one can filter out the distraction of atheists trying to make things about religion with the assumption religion is evil.
