I'm sorry you had to go through that. Although, I suppose everything is a learning experience and one can always take something beneficial away from any scenario.
I agree with you that both sides really need to get down from that wall of arrogance. The "I'm right" "No, I'm right" argument can only last for so long before someone decides that turning the other cheek isn't an appropriate reaction.
"There are no answers that will satisfy those genuinely questioning our faith....That is not because they are stubbornly refusing to embrace answers, nor because they do not understand what those answers are, but because our faith, i.e. the Christian religion is ultimately a matter of having faith and not empirical evidence strong enough to convince the sceptical unbeliever. What major factor of the Christian faith does not ultimately rest on faith? Look at the existence of God. It is our consideration that there are evidences for his existence but ultimately we rest our case on faith. Look at the existence of Jesus. It is our consideration that there are evidences for his existence but ultimately we rest our case on faith, especially in a day where mythicists and the like are in abundance along with their books and articles. Look at the inspiration of the Bible. It is our consideration that there are evidences for that inspiration but ultimately we rest our case on faith. Look at the creation of the universe and life on earth. It is our consideration that there are evidences for that work of initial creation but ultimately we rest our case on faith. So I could go on but I think the point is made. That upon which Christianity rests is ultimately faith. That is God's way, but that way is antithetical to the way of the unbelieving sceptic" (Matthew Bell, Xtianity, 2/26/01, "Some Dudes Learn the Hard Way.")
