Worst Argument For Religion You Have Ever Heard?

I want to know what the worst argument for the existence of God, or that a specific religion is true, that you have ever heard is.
Mine would be the argument that the earth was created 6000 years ago in 7 days - yet our fossil and rock records date back millions of years.
I'm sorry, I've put this in the wrong forum. Maybe a mod could transfer it to the religion or atheist forums please?

Easy:
"My feelings told me"
That's the single weakest reason to believe in God.

I'm pretty sure it went something like this: "Don't ask me for evidence of god's existence. Just look in the mirror."
Now where have I seen that before?

Because the Bible says so!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

I'm not a fan of Pascal's wager, though it's only been used on me once and he said "this is why god exists." and handed me a handout from his philosophy class–which he failed by the way. Of course he wasn't very bright anyway.

I could never choose just one. However, I can guess who said it.
