I've never heard not lame defense of theism.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Mikhail Bakunin.

The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.

Ivan: That's the truth.

Some people seem to think ten irrational arguments add up to one rational one. They do not. One rational one would do; but even then, it needs evidence. Otherwise you can't be sure if your pontificating actually applies to reality, and not the simplistic model you've reduced it to.

Whenever I hear that one, I think of the ad with the blond lady who said "they can't put it on the internet if it's not true."

Lamest or rather the toughest argument: "I know it seems illogical, but still I believe it to be the truth".

Imagine the crap in this thread if the topic was:

What's the lamest defence of Mormonism you've ever heard?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Then this thread would've been shifted to the humour section

It annoys me when someone keeps going on about faith (belief in spite of lack of evidence) and then shows me what they consider to be a bunch of evidence. Which is it?

The lamest defence I have ever seen has got to be this one:

Believing in God and day of judgement in Islam would easily explain the existence of God.

Basically, "if Silicon Heaven doesn't exist, where do all the calculators go? Checkmate, athiests!!!!!"
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
