Something that used to scare my in college has become somewhat of an interesting game I've developed for myself, and I found a site to help share it with the rest of you.
It's a little game where I find books, web sites, or other information that contrasts or challenges my faith directly with pointed questions and read through them. Then, I refute the points. It's something that has strengthened my faith immeasurably as it forces me to look at (sometimes) rational arguments of non-believers and examine them to try and answer them as if I was speaking to a person who believed the thing I am reading.
This website was on another website I was checking out, hiding in an ad off to the side. I just got through the first post, and let me tell you, it is AMAZING the lengths that people will go to to try and disprove Christianity and the Word of God.
I'll just give you my little spoiler for the first one: it's all about prayer, and how the Bible says all over that if you ask for anything in prayer with faith, it shall be given to you. Then they try to go ahead and point out this isn't true, because lots of people pray for a cure for cancer and other such things and those prayers go unanswered. Not only are the missing the entire point about having FAITH, and how just saying that you believe it will happen and ACTUALLY believing it will happen are two different things, but also they take verses right out of context to try and make a point.
Anyway, if anyone wants to go through the list and debunk them with me (and, of course, POST your debunking with it's number), I'd love to see what you guys think. God bless, and happy learning and growing!

Wow...this is really good stuff. ("Good" in the sense that I can agree it is a valuable excercise to refute the "proofs" point by point.) Maybe someday when I don't have a little ankle-biter clinging to me and I'm actually well-rested and can focus/concentrate I can ponder them and participate in debunking them with you...*sigh*
