Theistic argument awards 2015

So basically pick a category, and then post the category title above argument you feel best suits that category. The argument should be a commonly used one by theists arguing for god's existence. To be honest I don't know how this'll work, we'll see how it goes.
Categories:
Most Laughable
Most Condescending
Most Hypocritical
Most Popular
Overall Best
(Disclaimer: This doesn't mean you are admitting it's correct, or that you're wrong in some way, simply that it is the best argument, don't feel you need to disprove it in your post.)
Least Informed
Least Effort
Overall Worst
So feel free to enter your submissions! If this thread becomes popular i'll figure out a way to tally them up and choose the winners in each category, so because of that make sure your examples aren't too specific since you want others to use the same example and be thinking like minded.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

Most repetitve, perhaps. Because sometimes we get the same argument repeated by different people over time.
Most hypocritical might be the moral argument. Least effort might be the argument from design. Anyone who argues a theistic god from the idea that the universe needs a creator is making a big leap. The universe needed a creator so start following Jesus.

The descent into sophism: You can't know anything because you have only your senses. But god does know therefore, the only way to know anything is to believe in god.
Most Condescending
You just don't understand Christian doctrine, but if you did you'd believe.
Most Hypocritical
You have no proof god doesn’t exist.
Most Popular
I just know it.
Overall Best
Can't really pick a good one. Personal testimony is the closest thing to real evidence.
Least Informed
Evolution is not true, therefore god.
Least Effort
If you were a good person you'd believe.
Overall Worst
The Bible says so.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

LEAST EFFORT:
(and my personal favorite)
Because Jesus !!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Regarding the Christian god, most laughable would be anything revolving around using hell as a way to scare someone into believing. It completely undermines just about everything they state is good (and thus critical to the usual sales pitch) about their god, yet they never seem to realize it. Always good for a chuckle.

Jesus fucking christ, Satan is going to pump your ass full of molten lava for posting that.
