From a personal standpoint, I tend to be more agressive in my discourse with a christian because I was one. With a first hand knowledge of the lifestyle and forced ignorance this entails. It took me Years longer to reach some level of enlightenment because of peer pressure, and as I am imperfect, I harbor resentment.
Now, when A "hardcore" christian asks for rebuttal, I am hard pressed to resist. And bieng armed with what I consider to be a much larger quantity, and quality of evidence against my old faith, I actually enjoy the debates.
