Jokey ones now (i.e. not in need of legitimate responses but I can't resist):
1. God is the cake.
2. The cake is a lie.
3. Therefore, God is a lie.
1. The sentence below is true.
2. The sentence above is false.
3. Therefore, there is no God.
And on to the less jokey...
1. In Christianity/Islam/Judaism, humans were made in the image and likeness of the Abrahamic God.
2. Humans do not have an intuitive understanding of the mechanisms through which the universe operates.
3. Therefore, it is illogical to presume that the Abrahamic God is the creator and maintainer of said universe.
1. Yahweh's origins date back to the flood of the Euphrates ca. 2900 BCE, when he was then known by the name Enlil (though he is more often compared to Enki/Ea).
2. Enlil/Yahweh belonged to a pantheon of deities.
3. Therefore, the likelihood of Yahweh/Enlil's existence is equiprobable to the likelihood of the existence of all of the deities belonging to this pantheon.
