You could put together a list of undeniable logic traps, print off as a 
leaflet and hand to said H.Sapien-Idiotis. 

Jesus died for all our sins, so all our sins are pre-forgiven. Sin away!
If God is all seeing and all powerful, why does he need you to fight for him?
God created the devil, the devil is evil. ergo God..... etc.

Does anyone have a list already? or links to one.

At the very least it would provide some amusement. Perhaps we could stand on 
busy street corners asking people if they are interested in a copy of 
Bullshitnetics?

it's all religiculous !
