Winning The Debate

Politicians and Christian apologists often try to avoid embarrassing questions by changing the subject as quickly as possible. When asked about a particular subject they will often begin their reply with something like, "I think what you're trying to say is (blah blah blah)..." and off they go on a completely different subject. In this National Review article, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry took the art form to a new level:

The Errors of the Militant Atheist 

by Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry November 6, 2015 4:00 AM 

The thought that most frequently pops into my head when I read diatribes by militant atheists is “Why won’t you read a book?”
[...]
Take the theoretical physicist and public speaker Lawrence Krauss ... Krauss recently received the 2015 Humanist of the Year award and delivered himself of a speech attacking religion; before that, he wrote a piece for The New Yorker that went viral, calling on scientists to attack religion.

So how did Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry answer this attack on religion?

There is no such thing as “religion.” Some words are fine to use in everyday discourse, but become completely useless if one is trying to be conceptually precise. “Religion” is one of them.
[...]
Any generalization that begins with the word “religion” is ipso facto meaningless.

How easy was that?
