What popular arguments for Atheism do you think shouldn't be used because they are either downright bad or ineffective?
I think most of the time using scripture verses to try and argue with Christians is not too effective and some times Atheists just make bad arguments on these grounds.
One particular example that comes to mind is AronRa trying to set a contradiction between Exodus 20:3 and John 14:6 and also between Exodus 20:12 and Luke 14:26. For the first, Christians believe Jesus IS God, so there is no distinction. For the second, Jesus is talking about putting God first and above all things (as per the first commandment), so if your family is an obstacle to that, then you should do what Jesus is saying. Not a real issue.
