I usually go fishing online at conservative news sites like Breitbart News Network. I'll click on a story or headline, look down at the comments and either look for key words that Christians use or post a stimulating comment, which they would of course feel the need to correct me or defend their so called faith. Is there any tools or creative weapons of reason and logic that I can use to stump them?
As quoted from a Man for All Seasons:
"God made the angels to show Him splendor, as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But Man He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of his mind. If He suffers us to come to such a case that there is no escaping, then we may stand to our tackle as best we can, and, yes,... then we can clamor like champions, if we have the spittle for it. But it's God's part, not our own, to bring ourselves to such a pass. Our natural business lies in escaping."
In regards to your original question. The best argument I have ever heard to stump Christians is the argument to supremacy and redundancy of the will. Which in short goes:
P1. If the will of man and the will of God conflict than the superior will is manifested.
P2. The will of man is observed as manifested.
C1. Therefore the will of God is either inferior to that of man or God's will is that man does man's will in which case God's will is redundant.
The rebuttal will focus on the second premise in regards to the limits of man's will and whether that will is observed as manifest since his intention may not lead to his desired result. Further argument will be made in accordance with the or aspect of the conclusion as redundancy does not equate with nonexistence (think two kidneys or two lungs when one will do).
