Any Theists on AF, I Challenge You to a Debate on the Existence of God

Well there it is then. Here is where we part company. I entirely rely on myself, recognizing that submitting to the correct expert would at least require that I be able to identify such. Since my judgement is essential in any case, I embrace it. I refuse to leave to chance that I will throw in with the right authority. By relying on my own judgement I can at least hope to get better at it over time. If instead I put my faith in an external authority I can only get better at justifying my initial choice which I would always know to have been unjustified.
