Ten Simple Steps For Destroying The Arguments Of The Godless
1. Context is key. Take your opponent's words out of context, and substitute your own. Always accuse your opponent of taking your own words out of context.
2. Make up your own science. AIG is a terrific source for this.
3. Insist that the Bible is a moral guide, not a scientific one, then claim the opposite (it's especially effective if you can do this in the same breath).
4. Claim that Hitler was an atheist, then act like it matters.
5. Redefine common words in ways that support your argument. Good examples include 'miracle', 'supernatural', 'nature', 'theory', and 'God'. Be creative!
6. Introduce topics that have nothing to do with the argument, then act as if you've scored a point. For instance, if the topic is cosmology, say, 'But what about Joseph Stalin?' then sit back and look smug.
7. Accuse your opponent of taking positions they haven't. A good example might be if, when your opponent questions the efficacy of prayer, accusing him of hating free speech.
8. Remember that the Bible is malleable. It can be as literal or as allegorical as you need it to be at any given moment.
9. Make false and irrelevant claims about famous scientists. Good ones to use are Newton, Einstein, and Darwin. You opponent will waste valuable time refuting these claims and will have less time to refute the claims you're scared he'll get round to.
10. If none of the above works, you can always stick your fingers in your ears, shut your eyes and shriek, 'I CAN'T HEAR YOU I CANT HEAR YOU I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!'
