Default Looking for top level debaters.

Wondering if anyone can tell me who they consider to be the absolute smartest, most eloquent debaters in the realm of theism vs. non-theism. I am looking for people from both sides.
A while ago, while at bible college, someone gave me a copy of a Greg Bahnsen debate and I remember being floored at his skill and delivery, although I can't remember who he was debating. At the time I also got the distinct impression that he won hands down, even though much of what was said was way over my head. I think the audience thought he won too.

Subsequently, I have become what I believe is termed "soft atheist" or atheist/agnostic, and in order to fortify that position, I figured listening to and reading transcripts of those who are real masters of the art could only help reinforce my newfound beliefs.

Thanks

Pronihil:

If you have a look at the Secular Web Library, there are some really interesting debates between theologians, atheologians, etc.

Michael Martin is one of the good debators (atheistic camp), and a couple of his debates with theistic philosophers are available for us to peruse.

Let us know what you think of what you find! I'd be interested.
