The best argument is.... well, the one that made me think longer than any other was the fine tuning one I guess. But that turned out to be almost as bad for the argument maker as PW. It describes a God who only just manages to avoid utterly fouling up his creation, due to his arbitrary pre-tuning design making things really hard for himself.
What would you consider to be the worst objection commonly presented by skeptics as a reason to reject belief?
Not sure... most common objections are pretty good in my estimation. I guess anything that appeals to emotions or value judgements rather than facts, such as God being immoral and such. That in itself isn't a reason for disbelief in a generic God.
