Belief in God is rational. Everything has a cause. So unless there is a first cause, then you would have an infinite regress. And then nothing could exist. Therefore there must be a first cause. Therefore God, the first cause, exists. QED.

libertarian-ism.Ann Rand
There are good arguers for libertarian-ism. Off hand I can think of Michael Huemer [an intuitionist, but he agrees with Ayn Rand on important points] and Bryan Caplan and Friedman. The ones that have good arguments against it are e.g., the very famous Edward Fesser. Dr. Kelley Ross [Friesian.com] was once part for the movement, but went away, but today I think he classifies himself a "a kind of libertarian." Steven Dutch has some pointed critique on the movement. The more powerful thinkers here are the one that argue the libertarian doctrines are flawed.
