Depends, does the atheist believe that there is no god(s), or do they not believe that there either is or is not a god(s)?

I take it you haven't yet challenged Ryft to a philosophical debate about the christian god?
For the reasons listed in my previous post, I don't debate theists, if they want to offer reason or evidence to back their beliefs then fine, I will generally consider them on their merit.
It's generally pointless to debate theists, for the same reason it's generally pointless to debate people that believe in unicorns, these people are deluded and rational arguments simply aren't convincing.
