contradictions might be a good place to look.

Ask him if he speaks hebrew. It is a 99.9% surety that he doesn't. So, then ask him how he knows his translation is correct. Then ask him if he knows what "ki'ari" and "alma" means. (Which, of course, he won't.) Then explain that they mean "like a lion" (not pierced?!) and "young woman" (not virgin) respectively, and that the verses in psalm 22:16 and isaiah 7:14 are simply blatant mistranslations.
At this point the guy is usually flabbergasted, to put it nicely.
Then say, "It's so obvious that even you don't know that your views are correct, so why would I bother listening to you?!"
And if he still doesn't stop, ask him for his shoes (quoting Luke 6:30, which demands that christians give anything which is asked for). If he gives them and doesn't stop, ask for his shirt. Keep going, eventually he'll stop -- or you'll have a good laugh!

Don't agrue with him. That's what they want. They want your time and attention, to them that's an indication that they are reaching you.
Just politely tell him to go away and ignore him. If he persists tell him that you're happy with your religion (or lack thereof) and that you are just not interested in converting.

Just tell him to leave you alone!
No offense, but is this something that you need to come on here for advice about? Surely you can handle this guy all by yourself!

oh thats easy. i used to be a christian and the bible does have some holes in it.
ask him if he beleives god created everything. when he says yes ask him if sinning is wrong. once again, when he says yes, ask him if his god is holy. when he says yes ask him why he worships a hypocrite. if god created everything, and sin is wrong. then if god created everything then he created sin and if sin is wrong then god's a sinner and in being a sinner god cant be holy.
or just tell him right off. be like "hey, *beep* you"

Just ask "Can you honestly prove that the bible is truth?" then wait for some bullsh** answer.

Just refuse to argue with him. I've had a lot of arguemtns that went like this:
"Homosexuality is a sin!"
"That's your belief, not mine."
"How can you not believe it? The bible says so."
"The bible is the basis of your faith, not mine."
"You should read the bible before you dismiss it!"
"I have read the bible. I don't believe in it."
"If you don't believe in the bible, you're going to hell!"
"That's your belief, not mine."
"But... but... I know I'm right! *whinewhine*"
"That's your belief, not mine."
They get really frustrated. :)

Its simple..you just close the door, tell him no thanks...something...you don't have to be nice about it...
If he still bothers you..get him for harassment. You don't have to listen to him..just walk away..its just that simple.

Rather than questions, how about a statement, like "Leave me alone."
