Didn't some secular philosopher or is it a religious who said, I think it's this French guy - Voltaire - Quote:
"Madness is to have a wrong perception and to argue perfectly from it" or something like that !
All I know is God's Truth comes only by revelation and He choose to reveal to whom He wants to reveal; for he always get it right - I mean the vessel that He choose to reveal himself to !

I agree.
Atheists believe the doctrine of naturalism and they will defend it to the death.
Theists believe in the existence of God not because they want to believe it but because they just do base on whatever reasons.

Arguments support nothing but strife.The word of God speaks for its self and needs no one to argue or support it.For one day every knee will bow and call Him Jesus.There will be no arguments then.

O sage, how true! You can support anything with a little thought and imagination. We defend our rights to believe our own imagination and live in that reality. Funny, huh? We don't need to persuade others to live in our imagination. Just let everyone to their own imaginings.

Very well, and also an equal number of arguments by which to refute it as I see things

It is true. The problem arises in whether or not the argument is reasonable or not.

No proof is not so easy, that is why God has challenged the disbeliever in Quran, "Oh Prophet tell them to bring their proof if they are truthful"

That statement is true! That's why it's so rude to assume that everybody who disagrees with you is automatically stupid.
