Yes, I'm already aware of that. Thanks anyway.

No, my opinion is that such religious proselytizing is insidiously-evil. Your 'biblical' quote makes a false claim because it is unsupported by evidence.  Being unsupported by evidence and therefore, a false claim isn't merely my "opinion"; it's a logical fact.  The claim is specious and dismissed on that basis, (this is a logical "opinion" - your illogical opinion may be at variance).

1 Peter 3:15–16 (King James Version)

15 "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:  16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ."

We can be accused of "specious" reasoning and/or "circular" reasoning all you want, however, a combination of biblical data, logical reasoning, historical and scientific evidence can be utilized to present the best possible case regarding essential Christian teachings.  Which I might add, have been presented many times, in which, have been called "specious" and "circular" to the point of "circular" boring accusations.  This does not matter, as it is your opinion and thoughts.  Ultimately, your thoughts and beliefs or dis-beliefs will only benefit or not benefit you in the end.  My thoughts and beliefs will only do the same for me.  I rely on 1 Peter 3:15-16, along with many more verses, as my answer, for when being "falsely" accused by my belief in Christ.

People who actively try to point out all the INHERENTLY NONSENSICAL FLAWS in organized religion are considered "rude"

whereas people who actively try to convince impressionable children that nobody ever truly dies and a
vengeful jealous sky beast ( ) has your best interests at heart, are "community leaders."

Well....uh...yeah that makes a lot of sense.

We can be accused of "specious" reasoning and/or "circular" reasoning all you want, however, a combination of biblical data, logical reasoning, historical and scientific evidence can be utilized to present the best possible case regarding essential Christian teachings.

See, you've identified some aspects of the problem; "biblical data" is specious hearsay, (none of its religious claims have substantiation), no "logical reasoning" to support such claims has been presented, (e.g., simply claiming that have isn't the same thing and any 'reasoning' which proceeds from the false premises claimed by xtians yields false conclusions and these must be logically rejected as erroneous).

Which I might add, have been presented many times, in which, have been called "specious" and "circular" to the point of "circular" boring accusations.

They aren't simply "accusations", ("boring" or otherwise), since each time the reasons why your 'evidence' is specious and circular was specifically delineated.  That means they weren't empty accusations; the llines of logical reasoning were presented to refute your illogical presentations as circular arguments, (biblical self-references, faulty logic, etc.), and specious because they rested upon nothing, (nothing includes blind faith/religious beliefs).

This does not matter, as it is your opinion and thoughts.  Ultimately, your thoughts and beliefs or dis-beliefs will only benefit or not benefit you in the end.  My thoughts and beliefs will only do the same for me.

No, I reject your attempts to conflate your specious opinions which lack evidential or rational basis with "opinions" which have a rational basis and logical inferences/deductions.  These are not the same; all "opinions" are not created equal, (this is easily demonstrated; 'a blind person at an art gallery will *see* nothing and may conclude that there is nothing to *see* - in their "opinion" ... obviously, their opinion applies only to them and is in error for sighted people').  Your religious "faith" blinds you to the illogical internal inconsistancies of such a belief system.

I rely on 1 Peter 3:15-16, along with many more verses, as my answer, for when being "falsely" accused by my belief in Christ.

What "false" accusation?  Your belief system is manifestly NOT rational, logical or reasonable, (not 'just in my "opinion" but, on the parametersof logic, rationality and reasoning basis).  By bible-thumping a circular-based "verse" instead of using any reasoning ability you may possess, you've effectively supported the contention that blind faith and not reason is the basis for such religious "faith".  That conclusion logically follows as a result of wht you just posted, (denying the logical conclusion doesn't invalidate it unless you can present a logical refutation instead of more circular-based 'the-bible-says-so' merry-go-round irrationalities). My extrapolated 'prediction' is that you will not refute any of these contentions and simply ignore them or, simply post the equivalent of "uh-uh" empty nay-saying, (nothing substative in rebuttal).
