Bad Arguments for God

[Judas BentHer]

Every argument for god is a bad argument.

Yes, but there are very common arguments such as Pascal's Wager, to which the more slippery theists will cling. I think atheists need to spend a lot more time on crap like that, because attacking the Bible and hypocrisy rarely works.

I agree. No theist is going to be persuaded by the facts so as to realize the absurdity of the myth they live their life to support, because the fear paradigm that keeps it all together has convinced them that if they think about it and then leave because they can no longer follow the lie, that their loving god will turn his vengeance upon them and they shall suffer hell.

I think a lot of theists are more like those who hold faith to what Pascal's wager describes, than they do to the faith itself. What can it hurt to live as if it might be true, As if faking it could fool a god that could exist., when after life there's no consequence if it wasn't and only reward if it was.

I believe there's a flying pink dinosaur in the trunk of my car that coughs up giant gold bricks the third Saturday of every month. I just wish she'd finally come out from hiding near the spare and reward me for my faith, given what gold is worth today.
