...who I talk to about religion. To be honest, she's not as intelligent as I am, so if we disagree I can usually spin circles around her. I even occasionally use arguments that I know the counter-arguments for, but I know she doesn't. My point is, is it wrong to spin circles around someone in an argument just because you know a little more then they do? If you're in a situation like that, should you be fair and tell them about both sides of the argument?

Unless your trying to be one sided. If you know, you should fill her in. However, it is her fault for arguing about something she knows little about.
Also, you seem alittle too high and mighty. More intelligent, eh? XD

Depends on the the purpose of your debates. What are you trying to accomplish when you debate with this friend?

This pickled vegetable...When debating things like religion, theology and philosophy I think that explaining both sides is best, especially when the person your speaking with doesn't know as much as you do. If you show them both sides of the fence they'll be better equipped to form an informed opinion. ... could kick your a** !!

well, i would say that in such a case it would be the Honourable thing to do to explain the argument side. if anything else it let's her realy learn and decide for herself what she believes. after all, is a victory realy a victory if your opponent was handicapped?
plus, if you are her friend, one would think that you'd want to give her a fair chance in a discussion. beyond that, there is the simple fact that the can't learn anything if all you do is "spin circles around her" as you put it.

I don't see any huge moral problems with it.
If she feels like she's being bullied, she can always ask you to stop.
But it usually isn't very fun debating with someone who knows a lot less than you do.
And typically those people never seem to really understand your point anyway.

Eh when it comes to situations like that I don't even bother myself, maybe I don't want to extend the effort but for my part, it seems like trying is futile. Oh well.

"more intelligent" and the assumption just seemed funny is all. It was more in a jokingly way than a serious way, case in point the "XD".

She's kinder, more helpful, and probably more loyal then I am, but well... And she's already a Christian, she just believes in evolution and thinks gay marriage should be allowed and other things like that. Actually, there was one point where I wanted to read a book my mom didn't like, but I didn't want to do it behind her back, so I ended up having to fight with about why the book was wrong and with my mom about why she should let me. I felt like a total hypocrite. >_<
