Religious claims that get under your skin

[emjay]

For me it's not necessarily any specific argument per se, but rather the apparent desperation to believe that so many theists I've met, particularly on this site, wear on their sleeves, sometimes almost like a badge of honour. That's not a proof of God's non-existence any more than ad populum... many people believe it therefore it's true... is a proof for it's existence, but nonetheless, call it 'ad populum desperatum' makes it very very hard to take it seriously when so many theists seemingly display a complete lack of self-awareness, willful or otherwise, when it comes to how psychology may be affecting their beliefs and all the mental double standards they're applying and hoops they are jumping through in order to protect, maintain, and argue their beliefs.
