if you want to debunk christianity to a christian, you must debunk the very foundation of their world-view, not just attack their implausible story. what is their foundation? the bible, of course. if you can get a christian to either lose faith in the book's authenticity or in their denomination's interpretation of it, then you will have debunked their faith. (this is much easier said then done.)
untill then, this is just another shallow thinking, non-believer spitting fire at some religion's queer ideas. get in line.

Until "believers" are willing to listen to evidence - this can never happen.
If I pose the question: "What would make you stop believing in the Bible and God?" and your answer is "Nothing" - then it really doesn't matter what the evidence points towards, does it?
If you ask a me what would make me belief in a God - i would respond with a few things that would turn my head around. Some code buried deep in some mathematical algorithms (ala Carl Sagan's idea about PI in contact). Or any event that science can not explain based on what science already knows - like if the Earth stopped rotating for a bit and then started again with no ill effects. you know- a real miracle that does not have any natural explanation would be convincing evidence.
But as long as there are religious folks speaking what they believe, I thank God (some levity is OK, right?) that there are atheists willing to stand up and speak their minds as well.
