At the risk of sounding flippant, when you debate with these people, the following three perfectly reasonable tactics will usually suffice to bring their "arguments" to a screeching halt (if not cause their heads to explode):
1) When they make unsubstantiated claims, as they must, ask for evidence;
2) When they try to appeal to the Bible as evidence that this or that happened, interject with, "You mean allegedly, don't you?"; and
3) Learn the various logical fallacies and call them on it whenever they commit one, as they inevitably will.
Remember, atheists don't bear the burden of evidence. If people want you to believe in their imaginary friends, it's up to them to persuade you.
Read through the threads here and on other such forums. You will be more than adequately armed to shoot fish in a barrel.
