Iron Chariots is a good website. The main arguments and counter-arguments are summarised well by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. If you want a serious philosophical refutation, the best book that I have encountered is J.L. Mackie's The Miracle of Theism. This is fairly expensive, even online (about fifteen pounds sterling, I'm not sure how much that is in dollars), but it deals with pretty much every common argument for God's existence.Alright, thank you for the info, I will search for that book.

The only kind of people, with those sought ideas, you are going to convince are stupid people.
Religion has done a lot of good.
But a lot of evil too. Mostly evil actually. And you think that believing in fairy-tales is the intelligent option?
