Worst Arguments For Christianity

[Alex K]

The worst ones in my opinion, are the philosophical arguments.

The cosmological argument, ontological argument, teleological argument, TAG all make the perpetrator of them sound real deep an intellectual, yet they are all flawed. Not one of them are both valid and sound. And no amount of pointing out the fallacies will do anything to dissuade believers from using them.

On top of that, they are intellectually dishonest arguments.

Yeah, cosmological arguments at best just prove a vague first/final cause exists not a personal god. However even then they are questionable since they are based on medieval metaphysics based ancient Greek metaphysics which are based on ancient Greek folk physics.

They are based on the willingness of the authors to compromise the stringency of their thinking as a show of piety.

The ontological argument is just Christians trying to define god into exist. God is by definition the greatest being, which is by a being with all the great making properties: Omi-this, omi-that, is the Christian God, and exists. So you see! God exists by definition! *Snuffs glue.*

Good summary.

Teleological arguments just beg the question and are a joke.

The only valid use of "begging the question" I've seen in decades.

I'm not sure if this counts as an argument, but there was this guy (forgot his name) who said his faith was so strong that even if he was taken back in time and saw that nothing in the bible actually happened, he would still believe in Christianity.

I think that was William Lane Craig.

William Lane Craig would also strangle fluffy bunnies with his bare hands just for fun.
