You ignore the fact that many theists show up regurgitating their holy horseshit and have no "arguments" per se. They do not argue. They make assertions without evidence.
I regard such people as fuckheads and don't have time for the nicer ways of telling them such.
I always wondered about such people and their motives, do they think we have not heard such arguments before and may convert after hearing them? Do they think that we will for some reason take the bible any more seriously then they take the Qur'an? Or do they want brownie points in the after life with god?
Or finally maybe it is just so that they can feel better with some us and them bullshit.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
