"Trust me, I could totally answer your question and it would blow your mind and totally convert you. I won't, but trust me I could if I cared to."

Seems like the bible says you're not a very good Christian in that case:

1 Peter 3:15

15But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.

Sure, but we're not in a gentleness and respect situation here. There's me, and there's a bunch of rabid fundamentalist atheists present. And no doubt some calm and rational ones too, but they're not making themselves known at the moment. For example just look at the strawman (the bit between quotes) and judgmentalism (the prefix to your bible quote) in your own post. I think a good debater could and would avoid both those potholes.

Not my quote but I like it nonetheless: when asking WWJD, remember that turning over tables and chasing everyone round with a whip is an option.
