I've got an idea for an interesting exercise. Why don't we have head to head on the arguments for God? Any theist who believes and feels qualified to defend a particular argument vs any atheist/agnostic/non-theist/even theist who feels qualified to refute the argument.
I'm no expert, but I will debate any of the standard arguments for the existence of God with a theist. The arguments for debate are the following(If is miss one that you will to defend as a theist, feel free to mention it and link to it.)
1) Pascals wager
2) Kalam argument
3) Ontological argument
4) Teleological argument
5) Moral argument
6) Argument from religious experience
7) Anthropic argument
8) The Transcendental argument
Any takers? theists, please pick an argument you feel qualified to support, say so in this thread, and we will find a person who believes they can refute it.

Head to head proof of God

Tu attends, et je tombe
Dans tes ailes blanches,
Et je vole,
Et je coule
Comme une plume.''''

I don't believe that there is a God, therefore God exists. That's a good one!
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
