Stupid Arguments

[Disagreeable]

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

Whether or not Donald Trump should be in prison.

Boru

He shouldn't.

Not while gallows are available.

[Mister Agenda]

How can you say other religions are wrong?
Because 2+2=4. Any other answer is wrong.
My religion is the only right answer.

[Angrboda]

Because I said so, that's why.

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.

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.

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.
