biker, there is absolutely no reason for taking your issues to the Pit, unless you have some particular venting you feel that you need to do against believers generally or any particular believer or group of believers.
Great Debates is the place for argumentation on the issues of religion, including whether or not there are any grounds for belief. (In fact, there’s a thread over there right now dealing with How can anyone justify belief in God.
Be it noted, however, that whether or not any particular story is a myth or whether many Christians or whatevers don’t think through why they may believe is not adequate grounds for arguing against belief, just as “because the Bible says so” is not adequate grounds for arguing for belief. Stop over and examine the arguments, and throw in your views and why you hold them. You may be pleasantly surprised at the quality of the dialogue.
