I'm going to try your shoes for a while.
I just created an account on VenomfangX's site.
http://www.venomfangxsite.com/forums.html?task=viewtopic&id=85
Now, I will see what it's like to be in your position debating people like these.
Wish me luck

Best of luck. And remember to step away before you start pulling out your hair.
I wish you the best. You're braver than I. (Or more foolhardy... I'm not sure...)
Actually, when I think back, I realize I probably needed to cut my teeth in places like that. It certainly solidified my opinions of the value of religion.

Bah, is the site down for anyone else?
Yes

Okay, now it's back up. I thought I was banned already LOL
I'll do more than wish you luck...I'll pray for you !
( sorry, Cpt, a little atheist humor there )
I popped over there and did a little looking around and although they probably mean well many of their arguments seemed pretty freakin' weak. I mean even some of the Christian theists that visit this forum put up a better defense of their religion than what I observed there.
Unless you run into some "opponents" who have at least some grounding in science and logic I believe your biggest challenge will be in staying awake. And, seriously, I wish you luck.

You have no idea the severity of trouble you may have just caused me by pointing-out that website, Captain.

Yeah, your avatar kinda gave it away.
You don't watch his videos?
Oh, yes; I've watched his videos.
....he has a website...?
...and people go to it?!
I don't know what to say. I have no hatred for Venomfangx, but watching his videos is like... I dunno... have you ever seen a guy in trouble with his wife, but he doesn't know he's caught, so he keeps trying to make excuses anyway, completely oblivious that his every word exponentially increases the magnitude of his impending doom? They've always got the same smug attitude, like "Don't sweat it, guys. I got this shit covered." And then when it blows up in their faces and they get the shit slapped out of them, you see them later and they pretend like it was no big thing or that it never happened.
Watching VenomFangX is depressing in the same kind of way. You're just watching in horror. You don't really want to strangle him as much as you want to reach your hand into the computer screen and hold his jaw shut so that it will stop producing words. You find yourself yelling things like, "SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU STUPID FUCKING COCKMASTER!" But you don't mean it in a hateful way. You mean it in the same way you mean it when you're telling your friend to stop arguing with the bouncer, you know? But there's always that friend that just doesn't know when to shut the fuck up, and then they get everybody kicked out of the bar, and then everybody is pissed off, and then HE acts like that's awesome and wants to go to another bar so he can act like a jackass some more, and it just pains you because you WISH THE ASSHOLE KNEW. But he doesn't and apparently can't.
Something like that. Or maybe that's just me.
And I'm kind of joking but kind of not when I say that anyone who CHOOSES to wear one of those ratty teen staches is choosing to wear the mark of unwisdom.
Do you know who is even more painful to watch, though? The Christian Road Warrior. If it someday surfaced that he was just joking, I would laugh and laugh and love it forever. But watching it and having to know that he is very likely not joking at all is difficult beyond words. Watching VenomFangX makes me wince, but I can make it through the video if I want to. Watching "the christian road warrior" is a true test of endurance. I don't think I've made it through one video, one time, ever.
A place common to all will be maintained by none. A religion common to all is perhaps not much different.
Now I have a headache after reading so much fucking nonsense in that place...oh I think I lost a few more brain cells too. Well good luck with your experiment, your gonna need it.....and then some...OWWWW!
venomfangx is new to me, so i'm reading over the FAQ. quite amusing to see even a christian who actually still believes the story of Noah and the flood. i keep expecting to see a section on identifying and destroying witches. do these folks have a compound, somewhere?

Yeah the FAQ's are rather interesting.
Cpt, does your head hurt yet from the superb arguments you have encountered at venomfangx?
Mine sure does after perusing their site for 30 minutes.

I registered and started commenting. I expect to be banned directly.
WOW, i didnt realize that he had a site. wow just wow.
Have fun trying to reason with them.
It's been a couple days... Have you been driven insane yet? I don't think I could do it. My opinion of the average American is so low already...

I think I might stop by that website and give them a spoonful of logic.
I used to piss people off on the gamer forums to no end so, these theist nutjobs should be a good challenge.
There seems to be quite a few atheists there.
Perhaps I should post a link to here?
I went there to check out what you were talking about. It was pretty funny, and I've pissed of some people already
All that is necessary for the triumph of good is that evil men do nothing.
Lol, it's turning into a shark feeding frenzy there
Just signed up on that site. Let the fun begin.
What better place to start than the thread about homosexuality?
Yeah I guess I'm a machoist, getting blasted by both creationists and atheists.
While many of you seem to have spent a whole hour or whatever getting a headache, it took one post by the site's owner to make me realize he's off the deep end:
What kind of child comes up with this kind of nonsense? I'm thinking nothing good could ever escape the cobweb cavern that is this dementoid's braincase.

Dear RUN, here's a proposed test regarding the aforementioned premise:
A.) Walk into a modern kitchen that contains a functioning garbage
disposal.
B.) Hold one of your hands in front of your face and examine it closely.
C.) Insert that same hand fully into the garbage disposal and flip the
switch to the "on" position.
D.) Turn off the garbage disposal and withdraw the same hand and again
examine it closely. Do you detect any differences regarding the
condition of the hand and if so, why ?
( If further experimentation is neccessary to obtain confirmation of
results, simply repeat the process using the other remaining hand.... ps, welcome to the natural world. )
LMAO! That is hilarious Prozac, where do you come up with this stuff!
Using what to turn the unit on?
Ok - I don't really want to know!
I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
OK, I've been having way too much fun. I just noticed that I am a "Senior Boarder." I wonder how many posts that takes? Sheesh, I need to go level my death knight.

Wow! The stupid never ends...
Wow. Good job Cpt. Ask a simple question and meltdown occurs. You deserve gold stars.
I especially liked this:

Now, see what you did, Cpt_Pineapple? You turned us loose on them, and now they have to move servers.

Their error message makes no sense - did you guys cause their brains to explode?
PS - this is the message:
"The site is moving servers due to traffic site ground dosen't like us anymore. "
