Worst Arguments For Christianity

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.
Pascal's wager may actually be one of my favorites. For one, it doesn't pretend to appeal to science or logical argument as the others fallaciously do while feigning competency, but is instead built on a sort of proto-existential premise that life is extremely absurd and terrifying and thus faith, though also absurd, can remove some of the suffering we endure by giving us even but a fraction of hope that something or some being may hear our petition and make all right in the end. It doesn't work as an argument for Christianity specifically but as a statement that reality for each person largely rests on their opinion of it, and that faith is something of an escape from fate, it shares a soft spot in me.
