Theists and Atheists: the "is there a God Devil's advocate thread
August 20, 2015 at 8:42 am
Ok, the idea is the following:

In this discussion, theists and atheists alike do their best to argue for the other side!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

I am God. Therefore - God exists.

In all seriousness, I like the idea. But we need to force talk some nice theists into playing first

I rest my case.

Day=made
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

I'm in but I only accept 1 V 1 debate and I will be the theist.

No, no, no.  You don't just come out and insist that we stop persecuting you.  You have to make a virtue of being long suffering, something about how that will get you a better seat at God's table.

God does exist, but you fail to understand him due to your lack of intellect and unwillingness in interpreting his words properly to find him.
