I just don't think its possible for an atheist to 'lose a debate' against a theist though...theists have already lost by default until they have provided evidence.
Just as Pastafarians have lost by default until they provide evidence for their totally absurd FSM! I could provide 1000 fallacious arguments against the Pastafarian and have him debunking all 1000 fallacies of mine...but he's already lost by default....there is no debate at all until any evidence is provided whatsoever for such an absurd belief as the FSM....the Pastafarian has lost by default....
It should be considered totally the same with theists in general be it Christian or whatever...they have already lost the debate by default until they provide evidence for such an absurd belief in such a highly improbable being....doesn't matter how many fallacies are said against them...they've already lost by default - there is no debate.
They need evidence first or they've already lost the debate before its even got started and before ANY arguments have been given; HOWEVER fallacious the arguments are afterwards...they've already lost 'the debate' before hand. There is nothing debatable here in the first place - until evidence has been provided before hand for such a belief.
