All of their arguments are equally faulty because they all proceed from the same premise....which is that their fucking fairy god-father exists.

Worst Arguments For Christianity
|
There are good arguments for Christianity?
I'm not sure how to evaluate its relative badness, but boiled down, this is a very common one:
If God, the universe. The universe, therefore God.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
Anything ending with "you can't explain that"
Well, we just got a post with a couple of those old reliable bad arguments. One was "all these ancient historians wrote about Jesus" and "people wouldn't die for a lie."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Listening to these people is like being trapped in an endlessly looping episode of the shittiest sitcom ever aired.  RE: Worst Arguments For Christianity

The Bible has never stated a prophecy that did not come true!

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
Even the so-called "sophisticated" arguments from Christianity's greatest thinkers (an oxymoron if ever there was one) are ridiculous and no better than the idiocy trotted out by the most intellectually challenged back-woods hick preacher.
