Except that I don't want to let Christians get away with their bullshit. Hence, my solution of a quick link. "Already debunked. Here it is. *Link*" But that would make Christians cry and feel oppressed.
Since when is pleasing you and similar people a legitimate goal of this forum?
If your sole rationale for this is that the presence of theist arguments and/or bullshit offends you, then I don't think it's a very good one.

Let's add "If there's no God, why do bad things happen?" to the list please.

Open letter to any new atheists starting threads in this forum:
Please do not present any of the following arguments and think you're offering us anything new or even anything that theists haven't heard and debunked a million times already. Many of us are ex-Atheists and even those who aren't are still savvy enough that we've heard all the endlessly recycled, canned atheistic arguments. If you do offer these arguments, do not expect anything more than irritated "please get out" or "please stop talking" retorts. Hearing the same tired arguments over and over gets old.
Rule of Thumb: If Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett, Harris, or Atkins have used the argument you're about to post, we've heard it already.
Among the specific arguments we've already heard include but are not limited to:
- the Problem of Evil
- The Reverse Ontological Argument
- "Who created the creator"
- Hideness of God Argument
- Phantom Third Option to Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit
- "There's no evidence Jesus even existed"
- "The multiveres theorem answers the teleology argument"
- The Free-will/Omniscient God Paradox
- The Omnipotent Paradox
- "God commits genocide"
- "Morality is subjective"
- "The universe is so big, it can't possibly be made for humans"
- The Non-Primacy of the Mind Argument
- The Argument from Insufficient Evidence
- "There are so many god(s), how can you know YOURS is the real one?"
- Various (seriously, various) objections to the Kalam
- "Evolution has disproven Genesis" <--my favorite
- "Atheists have already debunked the classic theistic arguments a million times already"
See how easy that was?

The funny part about the ones you listed is that a majority of them are true.

I notice you have no reply to either of the threads I linked for you. Does this mean you can't do any better than the other Christians who tried?
EDIT
For your convenience, here's the debate on the historicity of the Gospels LINK
And here's the thread where I patiently explain to Christians why secular morality is superior: LINK
Enjoy!

"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"

Do you expect serious replies when you post a pile of jesus-loving shit on an atheism forum?
Why don't you talk to your "god" about it?

In come's the emotionally stacked language... as expected.
*Yawn*
PS- I don't see any post of mine that says anything with the likes of "I love Jesus." Perhaps you are being fatuous?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be a hit-and-run poster, but I just read through your why secular morality is superior OP and it was bad. Like, really bad. Hopefully I can find some time this week to write up a proper rebuttal for you.
Cheers
