  Some atheists do this same thing in reverse: They try to smartly debunk
christianity and the bible, and do so by abusing similar principles, ie.
distorting what christianity and the bible say, making false presumptions
and outright straw men, and then basing questions on those invalid premises,
and so on.

  I especially like the video called "10 questions that every intelligent
Christian must answer". It's completely full of fallacious argumentation,
but cleverly laid out by the authors so that most fellow atheists will be
mistaken into a false feeling that the video is actually proving some valid
points. Even atheists succumb to confirmation bias: They are more likely to
believe false statements when those statements confirm their own beliefs.
In this regard many of them are not much better than religious people.

  (Btw, that was not a statement about whether I believe God as taught by
Christianity exists or not or whether the bible is the truth or not. It was
a purely objective observation about the subject.)
