I'd suggest that instead of dismissing posts which haven't met with your approval you counter them with facts.
This is a debate forum. Debate.

How have you been Bourne? You know, I think for the first time, I disagree with you. I'm not saying it's toilet paper, etc, but I don't think it's a question that needs to be asked. To me it's trying to discredit someones faith, which I'm opposed to. I'm not saying we shouldn't ask questions, etc, but to ask the question as to wheter or not he even existed, you know, that's going to far for me. Again, it's not that we shouldn't challenge things, but to challenge them just to make a point, I don't know, it's just wrong. What is he trying to accomplish in asking this question? Debate? No, probably not. Because most believers aren't going to change their minds. No, he's looking for an argument. He wants to make people look foolish, question themselves, etc. Nothing to do with debate. You can challenge some of the actions that people take in the name of religion, that's different. But to challenge the basis of their faith, that's wrong. If you don't believe, leave them alone and move on with your life.
