Intellectual Gymnastics

Do you feel like doing intellectual gymnastics some times?
Here is one suggestion.
Start reading an atheist's argument why there is no god (he does not reach, as expected, but God.)
And then refute each and every argument.
And if you are not in mood to waste your energy then read the same author's blog post about the same thing here and read the reader's comments.
Then augment your acts by refreshing the same deep exercise here.
By that time you'll be ready to participate in the discussion that is about to start here at Sunni Forum.
A crucial link is this lecture by a Christian debater who has been sending atheists running for a cover.

Tailpiece: What is the active life span of a gymnast? Not the whole life span but the time duration for which he or she is in the gymnastic ring (or whatever that is called)? It can not be more than few years. People might spend whole lives in mental gymnastics and reach no where. A moments recitation of there is no god but God and Muhammed (PBUH) is His messenger might lead to once's salvation. The choice seems to be rather stark.

And the ability, capability, opportunity to do good deeds is from Allah Most High only.
