Well, the bible is one of the most self-contradictory texts ever to be believed in, so if you just read it or visit the site Kidrahs gave you, you can pretty much guard off any christians coming onto you. (And rather than a celebrity like paris hilton or lindsay lohan, I'd say, to me, god is more like a spoiled brat/baby)
As for the qur'an, I'm not too familiar with it, but it's supposed to preach peace. You can immediately guard off Muslims by showing them the monthly suicide bombing figures in the Middle East. It's not the qur'an that has something wrong with it, but the people who claim to follow its teachings. A lot of the times this is what's wrong with religion (aside from christianity in which the "sacred text" is already flawed).
The torah is simply a part of the christian bible. it consists of 5 books: 1) Genesis, 2) Exodus, 3) Leviticus, 4) Numbers, 5) Deutoronomy. Again, Genesis and Leviticus are two of the most ridiculous, self-contradictory books, especially leviticus which even most christians nowadays don't follow (it's the one where it says you can sell your daughter into slavery, that gays are bad, and you can stone your wife to death). Deuteronomy lists quite a number of death penalties, which god supposedly prohibits (thou shalt not kill).

Just pull 1Timothy chapter 2 or Deuteronomy 22:28-29. Then pull Isaiah 40:8 to avoid the "Things were different back then" rationalization. God's plan and it working in ways we cant understand dont work here either since it's a very personal thing, forcing a rape victim to marry her attacker. And on the love thing, how do you love something kills children and how do you know that it loves you? If this doesnt stop 'em in their tracks, cuz it does for most, then it's pointless. Sometimes people will condone this aslong as it's god doing it. I hope this helps.
(Exodus 12:12-13) For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 "If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.
"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever." Isaiah 40:8
1 Timothy 2 Pray for All People First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.( For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
