Atheism versus Theism

Alright, I want a good, clean fight.  Simply state your side, your argument/counter-argument/comment and whatnot.  I'm not trying to troll this, just wanting a good debate, so let's have one. (Atheist by the way)

In that case, the atheists you reject are straw men, because they just don't exist (a handful of retarded 14-year-olds not considered; they're a tiny, tiny minority, even on the internets).
I would argue that the only reason you think the existence of God is more plausible than that of unicorns is because you grew up in a society that keeps repeating that, not because you have carefully considered the facts. I'd say unicorns are more likely to exist than any conventional god.

Agnostic and atheist are orthogonal terms, BTW. I, like pretty much everyone who's thought about this, am an agnostic atheist. Most religious people, I would venture, are gnostic theists. The rare actually religious scientist is probably more likely to be an agnostic theist.
That's one reason people who answer "agnostic" when asked about their religious beliefs annoy me. "Agnostic" isn't an answer to a question about religious beliefs, it's about epistemology. The atheist/theist scale is about religious beliefs.
