Oh, you have a Christian marriage and want a legal divorce? So sorry, First Amendment and all that, you can't have one. Too bad, so sad.
Oh, you want treated for your medical condition caused by an evolved bacteria? So sorry, you can't have treatment because we respect your beliefs that it can't happen. Too bad, so sad.
Oh, you want a crop insurance pay out for your drought loss? So sorry, there are two different varieties of seed planted in that field, claim denied, you didn't do it right. Too bad, so sad.
How about: Nobody who professes belief in a god is allowed to file an insurance claim? If you didn't want your car to be wrecked, you should have prayed to God to protect it. If you didn't want a tornado to destroy your house, you should have prayed to God to keep it from happening.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
