Argument 1: Darth Vader is an evil and malevolent leader.
Argument 2: Darth Vader does not exist.
Do you understand how important context is?
The statements I made are stand alone arguments made by atheists. I can clarify very little but will try if asked. One of them was just asked in another thread, i.e what makes you think the God of a universe would care about a lttle speck like you? We also know atheists sincerely argue that God should show proof of himself by healing everybody, stopping evil right now yada yada. So the contradiction is crystal clear I'm afraid. "He should care more" and "He has no need to care"
These sorts of contradictions are found a few days apart on these forums by one who actually thinks. (Christians make the same errors of course).
"his ilk"
Yikes

Also, they all seem to be 'sarcastic' quips and were not actually making any claims themselves.
And this statement "Christians are so divided, I can't figure out which denomination is right" is unlikely to be asked by any atheist as we tend to think they are all wrong. Did you make this up yourself just to try to provoke us, hmmm?
You are simly wrong. They are not sarcastic in the least. I have no idea why you think that. I've heard them all from atheists and skeptics many times, and they clearly contradict one another.
