"I have no interest in making an argument with a person unable to distinguish the mythology from reality, nor I am in mood to listen your baseless claims. I am man of logic, so if you present empirical evidence in the existence of your god, then I'll listen."
If pastor brought the word of "faith" into debate, then you'll have to remind him that faith and logic is mutually excessive.
And even if he DOES present evidence that his specific god exists (and not some nebulous generic "god" concept) then he has to present good evidence on why such a god is worthy to be worship. He also has to present evidence that such a god actually created everything...and so on, and so on...all of the burdon of proof is on him.
