    Alot of those are actually very annoying straw-men of fairly valid arguments that, while not proving God doesn't exist, does present him as unlikely, or puts the belief of any given God in the context of all the other equally valid (invalid) claims.

    But surely all the original did either was put up straw-men of arguments in order to riducule them for the sake of humour :confused:

    I completely agree. Zillah - what are you rebelling against? ;)

    My fav so far:

    ARGUMENT FROM FUZZY ANIMALS
    1. Bunnies are cute.
    2. Perceiving cuteness is an evolutionary advantage.
    3. Therefore, cuteness must have evolved.
    4. Therefore, God doesn’t exist.

    I had found these and other great athiest humour pages at Godless Geeks :D:D

    These are my favourites from the original:

    ARGUMENT FROM CREATIVE INTERPRETATION
    (1) God is:
    (a) The feeling you have when you look at a newborn baby.
    (b) The love of a mother for her child.
    (c) That little still voice in your heart.
    (d) Humankind's potential to overcome their difficulties.
    (e) How I feel when I look at a sunset.
    (f) The taste of ice cream on a hot day.
    (2) Therefore, God exists.

    PEACOCK ARGUMENT FROM SELECTIVE MEMORY
    (1) [Christian asks "stumper" question.]
    (2) [Atheist answers question.]
    (3) [A lapse of time]
    (4) [Christian repeats question.]
    (5) [Atheist repeats answer.]
    (6) [A lapse of time]
    (7) [Christian repeats question.]
    (8) [Atheist repeats answer.]
    (9) [A lapse of time]
    (10) Atheist, you never answered my question.
    (11) Therefore, God exists.

    ARGUMENT FROM PERSONAL SANITY
    (1) I've had religious experiences that can't be explained unless I'm insane or God exists.
    (2) Therefore, God exists.


    And my absolute favourite:

    ARGUMENT FROM SHEER WILL
    (1) I DO believe in God! I DO believe in God! I do I do I do I DO believe in God!
    (2) Therefore, God exists.

    The point being, religious believers often deploy the original 300 and do conclude with "Therefore God exists!". The anti-god 300 tend to be used with far more moderation, rather than saying "Therefore God doesn't exist!" they usually have something like "So you see, your claims about your God can be used to support the existence of any God!" etc.

    That is all. Please return to light hearted mocking.
