On the other hand it can be embarrassing and it's not an argument they can immediately dismiss out of hand it sort of forces them to engage with you and it helps make the case to anyone who's on the fence nearby. Which if you're arguing with chuds is generally the goal
I agree somewhat, but in my personal experience they usually love the opportunity to move the conversation away from concrete details of the subject at hand (like the facts of the Rittenhouse case) and onto Biblical interpretation instead. They’re experts at the theological equivalent of pigeon chess, get dopamine from defending Christ online, and think that people giving them shit for it are just getting them eternal rewards in Heaven. Or at least that’s basically how it was for me when I was an young Evangelical chud.
That said, I do think it’s definitely useful when you want a chud to shut up about something and spend all their time writing bullshit about theology instead.
