The dumbest fucking arguments you've ever heard.

[FreeTony]

This is from a Christian Forum where I asked someone (this guy wasn't an idiot): "What sort of evidence would it take to convince you you're wrong"

Answer:

"Only if a Christian preacher/apologist that I respected changed their mind" (yeah, I'm sure the guy you give loads of money to every week will do that).

It was at that point I realised that debating Christians was perhaps rather pointless.

Friend: But aren't you scared of going to hell?

Me: No.

"If you don't believe in something, you'll fall for anything." - the implication apparently being that skepticism causes gullibility.

But...isn't that contradictory? How can you be skeptical and gullible at the same time? Oh yeah, these are dumb arguments.

Here's one from these very fora:

But it helps if you accept the universe is the purpose made creation of the almighty God before you get into those details.

OK, this is just a fun little challenge for people here.

Name three of the Dumbest Fucking Arguments You've Ever Heard, or DFAYEH, in support of theism against atheism.

PERSONAL arguments, mind you, not between "professional" debaters. I'm interested in seeing the extent of stupidity that exists amongst the religious. Mostly because I could seriously use a good, hearty belly-laugh.

All right... This isn't an argument, but... When I was a teen my parents had the book of mormon in their shelf for some reason. I started reading it and I was completely flabbergasted. It was one of the silliest things I had ever read. To be honest, it was also a real page-turner! (at least the first half)
I had to find more info on Joseph Smith and when I told my best friend about the gold tablets etc. we laughed so hard that we almost wet ourselves.

'I know God designed me because the tip of my index finger fits perfectly in my nostril, my ear, and my bumhole. There's no way that's random.'

"The bible is the word of god"
"How do you know that?"
"Because the bible tells me"

Repeat with almost all religious texts, and add a bit of "yeah but those other religious books are wrong."

If Q is false I will get sad. Therefore Q is true.

Yep, this the same thing I meant by my entire other post in this thread.

Every single argument in favor of a god is just sad and embarrassing. It's hard to say that any is more fucking stupid than another.
