text: Attack the question.  Thoroughly, make the person who asked it feel small (as he should).  The questioner is trying to move you into discussing a (supposedly ) scientific theory and enter into a non-debate. \n\n1. What are the duties of a Christian (that should fill a few paragraphs)?\n\n2. What beliefs define a Christian? (half way down the second page now)\n\n3. Does Christianity place any duties on the believer apart from issues they are specifically enjoined to get involved in (for example is there a "Christian" view on the works of Led Zeppelin or, and this is quite a big thing for some Christians to even think about, is Christian teaching silent on the merits or otherwise of "Dazed and Confused"? - I happen to know the Pope prefers the 40 minutes version from Seattle in 1975 ;) )\n\n4. If there are things in everyday life that are not part of being a Christian (what flavour ice cream you like for example) then isn't ot just a nonesense to ask about them?\n\n5. You've now got two modes of attack:\n\n- Deny the question has any meaning (not recommended unless you are pretty clued-up on Wittgenstein and the Logical Positivists)\n- Deny that the question falls into the realm of Christian thought per 1 to 4\n\nDon't forget to use the words "qua" and "obfuscation" in the essay (they're my favourites)
