RE: Atheists, what are the most convincing theist arguments you heard of?

Let's be honest here, if even a bit rude.
Theists, at this current point in time, have no convincing arguments. It all comes down to faith or personal experience. That's why they have to do petty things like debate the definition of atheism and argue semantics until the sun goes down and then some. They want to put us on the defensive so they don't have to defend their own arguments.
At the end of the day, most of us, as atheists are simply saying, "We don't buy your story and we're willing to admit we don't have the answers."
And that drives the theists crazy. That's why they want to convince us that we are responsible for explaining down to the very last detail why we don't buy into their story. It's like a salesman who follows you home after you refuse to buy the car he was just trying to sell you. Sure, you were in the market for a car you just didn't buy his particular sales pitch. So he follows you home and demands that you explain yourself. It's sad.

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
