Theists and Atheists: the "is there a God Devil's advocate thread
August 20, 2015 at 8:42 am
Ok, the idea is the following:
In this discussion, theists and atheists alike do their best to argue for the other side!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

I am God. Therefore - God exists.

In all seriousness, I like the idea. But we need to force talk some nice theists into playing first

I'm in but I only accept 1 V 1 debate and I will be the theist.

God does exist, but you fail to understand him due to your lack of intellect and unwillingness in interpreting his words properly to find him.
