Responding to online skeptics who call God evil and Christianity irrational: focus on one argument, watch for dumping tactics

Winger notes that online skeptics often distort Scripture to make Christianity look as ugly as possible — not from genuine curiosity but to weaponize it. This is comparable to how the church in the previous question misused Proverbs 22 and Matthew 18. A key apologetic tactic Winger recommends: when a skeptic "dumps" (throws out 10+ objections without engaging any), pick one and stay focused on it. Ask them: "What is your single biggest issue with Christianity?" Refuse to let the conversation scatter. An unfruitful debate is one where the person is not engaging the answers — only producing more questions. Winger also notes the value of audience: even if you can't reach the person you're debating, there are often onlookers who benefit. Experience helps you recognize when to disengage.
