Stupid Arguments
Write the stupidest argument you can think of.

Here is my attempt:

(1) If God exists then theism is true
(2) God exists
(3) Therefore, theism is true

He shouldn't.

Not while gallows are available.

RE: Stupid Arguments
How can you say other religions are wrong?
Because 2+2=4. Any other answer is wrong.
My religion is the only right answer.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

RE: Stupid Arguments
All arguments for the existence of God are stupid. That's why apologists use tricks to push them on people, like:

- they start telling them to the people when they are kids,

- they take the condescending posture so it is easier to call someone stupid and use similar logical fallacies,

- they dumb down people by telling them that education and academia are frauds so that they don't get educated,

- they make people repeat those dumb arguments over and over again until they start believing them - like during masses on Sunday,

- they spend a lot of money making buildings like churches, creation parks, and theological universities where they pretend like all the religious fantasy is true.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

RE: Stupid Arguments
If we're talking apologetic arguments I think the dumbest are appeals to hypocrisy and appeals to negative consequences. AKA, "You too!" and "That would be bad!". Conversely, the smartest stupid argument in apologetics usually take the form of a stolen concept. Psuedo-science is an entire genre built out of just that one fallacy.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

RE: Stupid Arguments
Just another comment on the stupid arguments. There is this guy, Wes Huff, who is hailed as the new hope of Christian apologetics; he was even in the Joe Rogan podcast. Recently, he and some other guy were commenting on some atheist who said that Jesus' sacrifice was insignificant because, being immortal, he only sacrificed his weekend.

To which this Wes said how this is like saying that allied soldiers only sacrificed their weekend when they were participating in the D-Day invasion.

Now, to me this was not only stupid but also so disingenuous that, if I were a Christian, I would have left Christianity right that moment. However, Christians are trained not to think about what preachers and apologists are saying but to simply cheer whenever they hear any argument in defense of Christianity.

You cannot compare soldiers who are mortal and Jesus, who is immortal. You can't even compare soldiers sacrifice to, let's say, Wolverine from Marvel comics, who is not immortal but has super healing abilities that his chances of surviving D-Day would be so high that he wouldn't even miss a heartbeat going to that battle, let alone Jesus, who is much more powerful.
