I stumbled across this as someone's sig file.

If it can be traced down, I expect it'd be of some small use when arguing with fundies.

"Very often many things are said by the Holy Scriptures and in it many names are used not in a literal sense...those who have minds understand this.
--St. Isaac the Syrian"

Unfortunately Isaac was a Nestorian, and they'll probably write him off as just another heretic :(

That reminds me. One thing I've wondered about for some time was a "breakdown" of the Nicean Creed (and/or Apostle's Creed) line by line listing what heresy each line was a response to. :-)
