My point is that:

1. It doesn't matter if many Christians suck at explaining their views. Most people are not scholars of anything in relation to their opinion on something. For example, many atheists I come across have no idea how to explain evolution, but all it takes is a handful of them to make the points valid.

I would go to Eva Yojimbo before I would go to ArArArchStanton to learn about evolutionary theory. That doesn't mean ArArArchStanton actually discredits the knowledge Eva Yojimbo has.

It's exactly the same with religious people. Don't make assumptions based on the least knowledgeable, but on the most knowledgeable.

2. The only weight an individual opinion has is on the person holding the opinion. The opinion itself does not make the opinion factual.

I don't understand how either of those things relate to anything I've said. Are you under the impression that I think that, because some Christians are bad at explaining their views, this discredits other Christians who aren't bad at explaining their views? Because I don't think that, and I never said anything that implies that.

This relates directly to what you said and my reply. You say some, but I usually assume that means that everyone which is why I said I have no issues explaining something others may be lost on.

I have no reason to think an atheist or non-Christian have anything that would necessarily stump me regarding my own beliefs is all. So I welcome the opportunity to explain Scripture as best I can since so many atheists are flailing at grasping it.
