Much of the christian intellectual edifice is just christians pointing at aspects of the world and shouting "mine!"
It's a step up from Van Til. If you even speak, no matter what is said, it's "proof" for Christian theism.
I do appreciate the replies. But I don't see the issue in reading these arguments. I do see an issue with not thinking about them. I want to be able to engage them beyond just shouting "you're stupid" and walking away.
Try, "You're stupid, you're ugly, and your mother dresses you funny!"
