Attn: Christians, We've Heard Them Already
Open letter to any new Christians starting threads in this forum:

Please do not present any of the following arguments and think you're offering us anything new or even anything that atheists haven't heard and debunked a million times already. Many of us are ex-Christians and even those who aren't are still savvy enough that we've heard all the endlessly recycled, canned apologetic arguments. If you do offer these arguments, do not expect anything more than irritated GTFO or STFU retorts. Hearing the same tired arguments over and over gets old.

Rule of Thumb: If WL Craig, Strobel, McDowell, Habermas, Comfort or Answers in Genesis have used the argument you're about to post, we've heard it already.

Among the specific arguments we've already heard include but are not limited to:
  • "Without (my) God, there can be no morals"
  • "The universe can't come from nothing"
  • "What about Josephus and Tacitus? They mentioned Jesus."
  • "Why would the disciples have died for a lie?"
  • "The Gospels are reliable historical documents, written by eye-witness accounts."
  • The Ontological Argument
  • The Teleological Argument
  • The Transcendental Argument
  • The Moral Argument
  • Pascal's Wager
  • The Presuppositionalist Argument
  • "Where do you get your sense of meaning without God?"
  • "Hitler was an atheist!"
  • "Stalin was an atheist!"

Please feel free to add to the list.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist

Well said, D-P.

Of course, they never think you are talking to them.

It's not frequent on this site because the theists are generally well-educated, but what about: "If evolution is true, why are there still monkeys?"

That's been done here before, actually.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
