It doesn't matter that a book about gnomes doesn't exist. This argument simply highlights the metaphysical non-sequitur that their faith requires them to put into action. In fact, replace "gnomes" with "Judeo-Christian god" and you get the same thing. Just like grass growing can't be proof of *unverifiable* gnomes, so too with the content of the Bible and the unverifiable YHWH. Thus, the thrust of the argument is, well, why put unjustified faith in something *defined* as unprovable? It's blind faith for no good reason, and that my friends, is *always* indicative that the thing you're dealing with is a cult/scam etc.
Once this argument is fleshed out in your mind, I think you'll understand what I mean when I say I never associate techniques of deceit with potentially attaining more truth.
