Sam Harris Debates Andrew Sullivan

Sam Harris, the author of "The End of Faith" and "Letter to a Christian Nation" is currently involved in an email debate with the openly gay, Catholic, conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan. The most recent letter, as of this posting, is dated 2/20/2007 and if from Harris. I personally feel that Sullivan is in way over his head on this debate and is doing a terrible job. I don't think this is because I am a baptized and confirmed agnostic either, I honestly think that Sullivan just doesn't have the skills to properly engage Harris. I think I could do a better job of arguing the theists position against Harris. I'm wondering would that make playing 'devil's advocate' into a game of 'god's advocate'?
