I say there is flying spaghetti monster.

I have eaten spaghetti.

Richard Dawkins says there is a flying spaghetti monster.

Therefore, there is a flying spaghetti monster.

The only question any theist need answer, a question the theist cannot seem to satisfactorily answer whatsoever, is Can you provide evidence for your claim of the existence of the god in whom you believe?

Everything else is just mental gymnastics, the theist attempting to skirt around the burden of proof.

And why I find it pretty pointless. I guess it's a good brain exercise though.

Another good example. This question self destructs in your hands. There is no possible logical answer.

I'm not a theist but I can argue for them - the bible (or any holy book of choice) says god exists so god exists, plus warm fuzzy feelings and I need god to love and not be a complete dick.

Did I leave anything out?
Also, to make it more realistic I can ignore every point raised, deflect, be passive agressive and call you names.

So you believe in something for which evidence is impossible.
I believe this is called a self supporting delusion.

What you have admitted to doing is to have removed the need for any kind of proof so you can believe what you want to believe without having to justify it to yourself.

We are not so easily duped.

Think about what? Based on real world knowledge, I can't possibly reason for something supernatural. For me, believing in god is the same as believing in goblins. Both are in some way possible, since you can't prove a negative, but both are highly unlikely, based on everyday evidence.
