Does anyone know of a debate (one shown online somewhere) between atheists and theists where the theists win?

I'm sure you can find such an argument, but the problem with that is the validity of that argument. The believer can always bootstrap their own ideology, which means that they are right no matter what anyone else says, because the belief system already establishes beforehand it's right as a premise. This type of thinking ends up pointing the finger at the own brethren at times, and thus enters the burden of proof.

Answer: Any publicized debate would do you little good and have little import.

The Inquisition.

Added: An actual debate to view or watch? Due to the emotions involved, I don't believe you'll actually find one. These debates happen all the time, but they are pretty unscheduled, and even these get pretty emotional - the topic is important to just about everyone that cares, either for or against.

Essentially what you'll find is one side making an appeal to authority, while the other side takes a rationalist position. Apples and oranges really, so the issue becomes irresolvable.

Theist websites where atheists are trolling. They tend to not be the most intelligent atheists and are often outnumbered by more intelligent theists.

Happens the same way with the theist/creationist trolls on the evolution and science websites. They're not the most intelligent theist, and there's a large amount of intelligent atheists.

Gee..I would have said that in every case I have watched or read..the theists were so Ignorant of BOTH science and their own scripture, that they were EASILY defeated by the Atheist..theists tend to be stupid and Lazy about what the bible actually claims...

You can start an Atheist/Theist debate at http://www.lettucedebate.com/ and see who wins.

Nobody wins these debates. The arguments always reach a stalemate when two equally competent people argue their respective viewpoints. Logic is an imperfect tool for describing the universe. By transitioning between systems of logic and starting with favorable presuppositions, logic can be used to prove virtually any selected statement is true. Ultimately, the winner of a debate is chosen by the biased members of an audience or panel. There is no foolproof objective measure to determine who wins a debate. A charismatic figure can win a debate as can one who manages to impress his audience by confusing them by means of speaking in meaningless metaphors.

One believer who contributes to YA (whose name I can't recall) suggests the following video is sufficient reason to believe in transcendental experiences. Note: it's a bit erudite:

what the hell is a "theist"... it is so over used, and misused, on YA it only serves to demonstrate the ignorance of the ones using the term..........

most of the "theists" I have known are not of The True Church commissioned by God... so they have no authority to argue the God stuff any way..... and besides that... no one of The True church should be arguing... or "debating" The Faith in any case...... if someone is not open to hearing The Truth then the True Christian should remain silent

Dawkins lost the debate by 324 votes to 136, as he failed to convince the house that religion has no place.

It warrants recognition that most of the debates with atheists and theists are not scored but put together primarily to sell books - basically they are long advertisements...

When an atheist is asked to actually provide proof that God does not exist, the theist always wins.

Rare but they exist. Although more often it's the other way around. Try youtube
