It seems that every time there is a debate over the existence of god, or the need for religion, theists seem to bring up the same (refuted) points over and over. I was thinking there must be some collection of arguments and rebuttals somewhere on the net? Could someone be kind enough to direct me to such a place?

>>67 The point was that gods that have a physical effect on the universe are falsifiable, and so can be tested. Gods that don't are irrelevant.
What if their physical effects cannot be proven to be their activity? If God (randomly or otherwise) chooses to smite your friend with a lightning bolt, you'd never know it was random chance/divine action. In this case he has a definite physical effect, but we still can't prove/disprove his existance.
