To keep from derailing Fiske's thread, I'm moving my reply to another thread.
Oh, and in the interests of playing Fiske's game, I'll take the atheist side. Here's my argument:
There is no logical or emirical proof for or against the existence of a god or gods. Therefore, the decision between the two ultimately boils down to personal choice, informed by the person's experiences and desires. I see no particular reason to believe in God, therefore, I am an atheist. To convince others of atheism, I could provide a number of arguments as to why it's more practical or more personally satisfying to be an atheist (just think! Sundays off!), but they're only convincing in so far as the other person doesn't feel that they have
more convincing personal reasons to be a theist. You win some, you lose some.
