Keith, sorry I haven't responded sooner, but I've been crazy busy (I know, that's my perennial excuse, but it's still true!).
While I sympathize your desire to lay down common-sense ground rules when entering into reasoned debate, I seriously doubt you'll ever get a religious opponent to sit still long enough to listen to the rules, much less agree to them. Sad but true. :(
What was chopped off from first transmittal:
Go ahead and put him explicitly in the position of having to publically renege on your agreement, or else renounce his theism. [Note: Our side has been in the position to do this for at least the past couple of hundred years; but, in general, we have not. For some thoughts on how and why that has been, and whether our reticence has indeed been justifiable, please see another of the short essays at my blogsite: 'The Cuddly Kitten'.]
Primers for Step 3:
The essay ‘Truth?’ (access via 'view my complete profile' at the blogsite).
William Clifford’s classic essay ‘The Ethics of Belief’.
George Smith’s ‘The Case Against God’.
Michael and Monier’s essay collection ‘The Impossibility of God’.
General recent writings of the ‘new atheists’ (Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Victor Stenger, Daniel Dennett, Michael Shermer, Anthony Grayling, et al).

John: If still with me then thanks for coming this far. If willing to go a little further then the main URL is http://www.poppersinversion.blogspot.com . Any feedback/criticism would be most welcome.
Best regards,
Keith Sewell
