This, of course, was most hilarious to me because the modern banana was engineered by man - not god. "But it fits in my hand so well!" "Yeah, well it also fits in your butt."
And if this god made bananas so perfect for man, why did he put them up on 5 metre high trees with no branches to climb?
The most common argument I hear and I've grown tired of is the complexity of the world and the universe around us. How could all of this appeared out of nothing? Therefore "God" exists. They completely ignore the question of what or who created this god? And even if some supernatural being created the universe, what makes them think it's the one they worship?
Must be because they have read it in their bible. And if the bible says it, it must be true. And how do I know it's true? Because god says so, and how do I know god says so? Because it is written in the bible.
Theists and their circular and nonsensical reasoning is beyond me.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
