How Irrational People Think

1. There are seashells found on mountains.
2. There is a book that mentions a worldwide flood. 3. Therefore, the book is reliable and true. What else? Keep it a syllogism.
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza
Yeah, the logic seems to be:
My book didn't get everything entirely wrong, therefor my book is entirely right, even the magic stuff. Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists. Index of useful threads and discussions Index of my best videos Quickstart guide to the forum 
One that I have heard
Bible says that man was formed from dirt Evolution offends me because it says that I evolved from a lower form Therefore: I DID NOT COME FROM MONKEYS. HOW DARE YOU SAY I DID! Another one Nature makes me happy Therefore , There is a god! 
1 - Everything that exists needs to be proven
2 - The bible says god exists 3 - Therefore, god exists.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
When Ray Comfort had a site geared toward attracting atheists, I used to visit it. One of his ways to convince us to join him was to say:
The bible states that the fools says in his heart that there is no god You say that there is no god Therefore; You are a fool His methods didn't work well with his atheist visitors 
Everything needs a cause.
Oh except the thing they believe is the cause, that is an exception just coz. Sometimes they go deeper. Science cannot explain the totally how the universe began or life started. Therefore homosexuality is wrong and you shouldn't work on Sunday. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.  RE: How Irrational People Think

The true formulation is that 'nothing that comes into being does so apart from some cause. There are some interesting arguments against this premise, but your strawman is not one of them.

You are denying that people seriously consider the "uncaused cause" copout for God?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
My personal favorite which I come across often: I don't know how the universe got here and I can't explain how life developed. If it's too complex for me to understand, then naturally the universe and all life forms within it must have a creator.
