Talking to a Christian usually boils down to either a. one of the popular (yet debunked) "logical" arguments for God's existence, b. the "I had an experience" fallacy, or, most popular on this board, c. a bombardment of inane, deliberately ambiguous questions about science with the hope of finally poking a hole and filling the gap with their god of choice.
It's a rare treat when the conversation goes above that level. Sadly, it almost never does. Thus the annoyance.
Just so you are aware, there are plenty of people of faith that believe in and understand science. They don't try to use their faith as a way to justify taking the rights of others. It's about feeling the love of Christ and sharing that love with others (respectfully for those of us like that). Generalizing and lumping all of us in with the types that are really the minority, just the loudest, doesn't do much to help your side.
