whenever i debate with christians i end up regressing to my old christian self and start quibbling over specifics of theology instead of actually talking about if christianity is real or not.

Like arguing Star Wars canon and fan theories without acknowledging George Lucas exists and his kids being born radically changed his storytelling.

The problem is that you know more details about their religion that they do.

occasionally my favorite thing to do is stop and talk to street preachers. They give me the schpiel, and i say 'yeah i know, i used to give that schpiel.' and then they are like... uh... more schpiel? and then i'm like "yeah i said exactly those words too."

Can identify. Do you debate with them often? I live with and among them and do this all the time, but just in conversation, not debates. They know where I stand in any case.

Before GoT Season 6ish, I was super into reading speculative wikis on all the possible theories being foreshadowed, what the prophecies might mean. I’d find myself aKsHuLLy-ing a lot. It became a lot easier to argue-with-empathy with Christians after noticing the parallels.

There’s probably value in both letting the impulse run and getting into those nuances & being aware of it that way. There’s stuff going on there philosophically regardless of god being real or not, it’s still interesting stuff! That’s my lapsed Catholic perspective anyways lol.

This exact thing happens to me! I was homeschooled and deeply Reformed Baptist. I think it speaks to the massive effect peer pressure really does have on our beliefs. We don’t even notice it while it’s happening.
