My personal favorite, which I get quite often...
When I tell a Christian that I used to be Christian but left the religion years ago, I often get "Then you never were a REAL Christian."
The "No True Scotsman" fallacy has to be the personal favorite of most of the fundies I've met in my life.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

And yet I've never once heard it from a Scot...

Two from the same nut job;
1) (To another christian who disagreed with him) If you were a true christian you would have agreed with me!
2) (To me) I am the humblest person you know!

Told me that a certain group (I think it was a certain group of asians) were alright in believing in Buddhism because they were not "God's people". Pretty much implying they were damned from the get go and are going to hell.

Wow! God is awesome in the details....instead if having to run out for lunch and be back in 45 min...God multiplied blessings and provided food for my entire brood of chicks. Yay God!
Meanwhile, what is it, 15,000 or so kids will die today from starvation and malnutrition? Yeah, god's really in the details.

I can think of two off the top of my head from the GOP.
“I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that’s something God intended to happen."
-Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock
And
“All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell. And it’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.”

I respond to this stupid argument with "How you wish someone would behave does not change the thoughts in their head".
Atheists do this too. They will point to other atheists and say "They make me look bad when they behave that way".
I say, no, it doesn't make you look bad, it makes them look bad. Atheists like any other label, ultimately we are still individuals first.
Catholics, Protestants and Baptists, liberal and conservative all have the same belief in Jesus as their core position. Sunnis and Shiites BOTH believe in the god Allah. And every atheist, lacks a belief in a god or gods.

But unfortunately when it comes to atheists, if one atheist does something bad, it means all atheists are evil, immoral people. If one Christian does something bad, he's not a true Christian because a true Christian wouldn't do that.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

These fools should not hold public office or get votes. It shows something about those that get them elected. Fucking morons and plenty more where that came from. They need to get taken out to a small island and fight it out lord of the flies style and yeah that is it no punch line just let them fight it out and forget about them.
