Well, I hate to break it to you, but people who are trying to make a religious point aren't interested in dialog, anyway. In fact, it's pretty well impossible to have a dialog with them that gets anywhere. You can't have a sensible debate when the other person's fallback response is always "it's god's will, so it's beyond our understanding and we can't question it, and you're an evil person for not agreeing with me." These people have been taught from a young age that logic is evil and will lead them down the road to hell, so logical arguments are lost on them.
