The nice thing about Christianity is that there are so many different
varieties of it to choose from, and someone from every sect has written
polemics against every other sect.

So all you need to do is find a few books that purport to discredit
whatever variety of Christianity your church adheres to, and then start
advancing arguments from those books in your youth group meetings.  If
you play your cards right, nobody in the group will want to socialize
with you, and you might even get kicked out for being a corrupting
influence.

(Warning: If this is a Catholic youth group being led by an aspiring
Jesuit, this technique may backfire.)
