The following site is a fairly straightforward demonstration of typical christian apologetics. Depending on your mood, it is good for light hearted humor:

For batshit crazy christian points of view, visit FSTDT:

As was said before, stop here regularly to sort it out.

Thanks--I found FSTDT to be funny Big Grin

It's funny to note how--when another classmate snatched my phone and read this tread while it was displayed--this conversation happened:
Him: (reading my phone's display) "What's this?"
Me: "Don't judge me easily, but it's an atheist forum."
Him: "What's that?"
Me: "Atheists are people who don't believe in God."
Him: "So they're like the anti-religion?"
Me: "No, Atheist people just don't believe."
Him: "So they hate God!"
Me: "Like what I said, Atheists just don't believe. One can't be angry with something that don't exist."
Him: "So, they're like Muslims, right?"
Me: "No. Muslims worship Allah. Atheists worship nobody!"
Him: "I hate those people. They think they just appeared on Earth with a POOF!"
Me: (Glad I didn't tell him) "Well, their parents DID produce them."
Him: "Yeah, but still, they think they're better than God. They're living in their fantasy world."
Me: (Almost fed up) "N--yeah....... Riiiight......"
Haha, funny!

I'm an atheist, and I can't lie about it anymore. While I wouldn't go shout, "I don't believe in God," I most certainly will say my beliefs (or lack thereof) when asked. So, can anyone list me the most common Christian defenses and the most appropriate atheist reasoning for each defense? I almost got into a debate with my classmate today, but I got speechless when I can't tell her how blind she is when she said, "Just look around you. Isn't that enough proof?" I know--meaningless. Fortunately, I didn't loose her.
I do not like debates, and would prefer my belief to be left alone. However, I'd like to be prepared, as I would like to be able to at least defend my atheism, as they are able to defend their Christianism with such meaningless thoughts.
Thanks, everybody. You all rock Smile

Thanks for sharing! Your best bet is to study the Informal Logical Fallacies, and be able to recognize them when you see/hear them. Here are some places to start:
