What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?
RE: What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?
The fact that so many theists believe any of the philosophical arguments are compelling, is pretty lame.

Ontological, teleological, cosmological, transcendental, or whatever else they parade around. I repeat, pretty lame.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
