Annoying Atheist Arguments

[jonb]

The standard arguments do cover all of the theist arguments. This post is not about finding any new arguments but correctly applying the existing ones. My peeve here is not that I haven't seen any new arguments but that some atheists seem to use those standard arguments without regard for whether they are actually applicable or not.

We are bound to get wrongly applied arguments, and lots of other natural errors. One of the uses I think atheist forums are being used for, is that atheists who are alone and embedded in theist communities can use the forums as testing grounds for their arguments in the real world. Thus as these forums are used partly as practice grounds, we have to expect errors. True some experienced atheists also do not listen, but when you hear the same old tired old thing over and over again It is hard to keep alert. In other words it is in the nature of the beast. Just pick through the thing and find those bits which are good for you.
