You’d think this link would make the blogging rounds a bit more often, but here we are. What are ya gonna do?
Anyway, it’s a site offering “Hundreds of Proofs of God’s Existence”. It pretty much nails all the presentations the religious have.
COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT, a.k.a. FIRST CAUSE ARGUMENT (I)
(1) If I say something must have a cause, it has a cause.
(2) I say the universe must have a cause.
(3) Therefore, the universe has a cause.
(4) Therefore, God exists.
ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT (I)
(1) I define God to be X.
(2) Since I can conceive of X, X must exist.
(3) Therefore, God exists.
ARGUMENT FROM ARMCHAIR PSYCHOANALYSIS
(1) You say there’s no God?
(2) Ah, someone calling themselves Christian must have really hurt you in the past.
(3) Therefore, God exists.
ARGUMENT FROM COUNTERFACTUAL EVIDENCE
(1) You claim the evidence for Jesus’ divinity is non-existent.
(2) But if there were lots of evidence, you would still not be convinced.
(3) Therefore, God exists.
I’ve especially had that last one presented to me quite a bit. It’s good to see it placed in the derided position it has earned.
