What's the best way to shut up a Presuppositionalist?

RE: What's the best way to shut up a Presuppositionalist?
(April 24, 2014 at 5:38 pm)Rampant.A.I. Wrote: Instead of advancing arguments for the existence of God, the Presuppositionalist simply assumes it as granted. They assume, therefore, that atheists must assume God does not exist in order to formulate arguments, and reject any argument that does not presuppose <God Exists> as invalid.

If they do this, come up with something even more absurd and stick to it.

Tell them that YHWH isn't even that great of a god, and certainly not a perfect one. State that all gods are under the dominion of the over-deity, Steve. All things proceed from Steve, and everything is evidence of His glory.

Use the TAG argument as evidence that Steve exists. Any arguments the presuppositionalist uses can be turned toward Steve. Any time they assert that YHWH is the one, true god, sadly shake your head and ask them why they are denying Steve when they know he's correct.
