Not once in my life have I had these debates (no, not exaggerating) and I find it a strange assumption that I have. Don't spend an immense amount of time on these sort of forums ya' see.
If this sort of debate is truly so scripted could you point me to one? Since I'd gain an equal amount of information, apparently.
I do actually want to know what the apparently so common christian reply to these arguments is, it's sort of why I asked. I'm here to get information, not to be told that the information has already been given. This fact doesn't really help me.
Find a smart Christian and talk to her.
You could also think about what is evidence and what is ideas in your mind about what God (according to your convenient definition of him) must do or cannot do. There's a big difference. You might consider meme propagation and ruminate on why certain written down "random hypotheses" become religions and take over the world, while others don't. Oh, and speculations about the probabilities of things happening in universes with gods and universes without gods are neither facts nor arguments.
I don't think Pascal's wager is part of any form of mainstream Christian theology.
I suggest this book: Religion Explained
That was an answer to "I do actually want to know what the apparently so common christian reply to these arguments is".
