Annoying but easily refuted. You can pray to a teapot but the outcome would be the same.
Most pathetic arguments can be refuted with just a few short words. Annoys them more than it does you. 
Then it's onto Round 2, changing the subject: "You can't compare my god to a teapot!" or "Well, where did the teapot come from?"
Anyway, annoying is the name of this game.
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.'

Yep, the responses just get dumber. It's no different from arguing with a no nothing spoilt brat. And they wonder why we laugh at them.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

It annoys me when they bring god into debates/conversations that have nothing to do with faith or religion.
That will never hold up in court...

Do the same things or worse. Spend their time violating everything their faith preaches against - alcohol, drugs, fornicating, lying, cheating, stealing... And then have the audacity that to tell me that their god "forgives" them for these things - even though they have no intention of stopping them - whereas I, as an unbeliever am "going to Hell" for not believing, even though I'm doing my best and mostly succeeding in following their teachings - rarely drink, don't do drugs, am faithful to my spouse, am honest in my dealings, obey the laws... Yet they have no qualms about lying to their God when they ask for forgiveness for whatever they're doing.
It's so convincing when a drunken Christian tries to prosthelytize! If they really had the crutch of religion they say they do, why do they also need the crutch of alcohol?
No, they do a good job of convincing me that they no more believe this nonsense than I do. I'm just honest enough to admit that I don't believe it.
I wonder what their all-knowing God thinks about people who lie to Him and believe that they'll get away with it! Nevermind. I answered my own question in the previous sentence: Truly, they don't believe in God or their teachings either. They're just dishonest.

Rye Wrote: The thing that theists does that annoys me is when they try to come up with a motive for atheism, whether it's the old canard about just wanting an excuse to sin (If I wanted to sin, all I'd need to do is become a televangelist and have an army of people who'd defend me if I got caught) or if they try to reduce it to sour grapes over a bad relationship with one's father (I'm close to my father, I live with him, and he's recently helped to fix my computer.) Fun fact: If a theist wants to know why atheists are atheists, just ask.
The one I've been hearing is that it's just sour grapes from bad things that have happened in my life that I don't want to take responsibility for. That, and of course the old excuse-to-sin standby.
The reply I gave a very drunken Christian who came up with these was that if I wanted bad things in my life to happen, I'd just take up drinking to excess. The person retorted that it was "wrong", but she could "ask for forgiveness", and it was sure to be granted every time. I looked a couple of times, and said, "It sounds like you've got an escape from responsibility there, as well as a ready-made excuse to sin! Me, I've got to take responsibilities for things - like damaging my health, reputation, legal issues with drinking and driving, the cost of it, and on and on. When you defy your own beliefs against drunkenness to this extent, it's not a very good 'advertisement' for what Christianity gets you. Me - I value having control over my mind too much to turn it over to alcohol or Christianity." Then, turned to it having to do with Christians (in my family) doing something horrible to me in Christ's name, and tried to console me for that. (Huh???)
It's just grasping at straws, and doesn't make for a very appealing alternative to what I (don't) believe. I've just become convinced that these "sinning, but (constantly) forgiven" so-called Christians don't believe in the Bible, in Jesus, in their Church any more than I do!

You just keep your head on straight. Fuck those shitty bitches.
Ah, but when they visit Planned Parenthood for abortion services, they'll be forgiven for the "sin" of killing their baby because they ask. However, either refraining from fornicating which is listed as a sin never crossed their minds, besides, they were forgiven.
Now they've got a platform from which to sob at the abortion rallies about how those awful people at PP convinced them that they "had to" have an abortion, forced them to, lied to them to allow it, and use this to show how terrible they are.
That, or they will stand by their convictions to not "murder their baby", have a baby when they're 16 or so, without an education, without job skills, but use the taxpayer's money abusing systems that are in place as a safety net for people to whom bad, unforeseen things happen. They just use them from day one - in a sort-of premeditated way.

Ah yes, the "What happened in your life to make you hate god?" bit. I'd forgotten that one. Atheists are damaged goods with chips on our shoulders, filled with bitter hatred against the god that we know exists but are determined to deny because all we want to do is sin.

Why on earth would you want to defile yourself by "fucking" these worthless assholes? Certainly, there are assholes you could fuck which would be much more worthwhile, and their owners more stabilly appreciative.
