The writer said 'The fool hath said in his heart there is no god" The psalmist says ; " I said you are gods and sons of god"
Non is from God at least it can’t be prove it is anything except the ideas and thoughts of another human.
What about the believers that the world was flat,or Humanoids living on Mars?
No one really can Know there is a God, Just believe there is,
The most annoying argument is the one that says: “If you are atheist you are claiming you know God doesn’t exist, and that means you are basing it on faith. No, you don’t get to say that you have no beliefs because I will define atheist to mean what I need it to mean in order to have this argument.”
I am less annoyed by that because although I have no beliefs in a higher power, me personally, I have a position.
The common definitions and defining characteristics of the God of the Bible are such that there are certainly strong arguments to be made which demonstrates either he doesn’t exist or those definitions are inaccurate. And of course, within the Bible itself, those definitions contradict each other, rendering it impossible for the being to exist and for all descriptions of the being to be truthful.

Among many, many other direct contradictions.
Wouldn’t that be confusing an atheist and an agnostic?
The morals one is pretty annoying.
Doesn’t really come up very often, but when it does, I usually ask if that means they’d be a morally repugnant Human if they weren’t afraid of God. That’s kind of a trap, because if they say yes (and no one has so far), my next words would be “The Bible says that God knows what is in your heart. What does he see in yours?”
Its the same logical fallacy as “If Drugs are legal, everyone will do them.” Sorry, I have no interest in doing cocaine, meth or speed, to name three. Does that mean you would be doing all of those if they were legal?
The whole ‘God is Love’ thing is easy to attack. I point out how Justice, Fairness and all of that don’t exist in the Universe, they only exist in our minds. So the Universe God created is pretty much proof that he isn’t “Love”.
Voted “Armchair psych” and “can’t prove god doesn’t exist”. The first because it’s more aggressively self-centered & arrogant than average ; the second because while it takes half a millisecond to figure out why it’s a nonsensical argument the person still a) didn’t and b) didn’t *enough *that they think it’s not just a clever quip but also a meaningful argument. Every other example is shoddy thinking on some level, but the sheer amount of shoddy on that one makes me want to shake the dense out of them.
The morals one just makes me laugh. Because, yeah, it necessarily implies that, were it not for GAWD’s own restraints, the person asking the question would, no questions asked, be a serial cannibal pedophile horse rapist.
Of course, that’s not true either and they actually get their morals the same place I get mine (that would be in the gut, Bob), but asking that question is so much like handing me a baseball bat and pleading for to me to pummel them with it, I can’t be mad.
Pascal’s Wager always reminds me of a cartoon I saw once where an imam, a rabbi, and the pope are walking up to Heaven’s gate and all of them are thinking ‘Uh Oh’ because Thor is the gatekeeper.
I checked every box (except the last two).
There are many atheists that became atheists because they read and thought about what they had read in the Bible. Contradictions and searching for truth caused many to leave their Christian beliefs aside. A study showed that Atheists know the Bible better than many Christians.
Many Christians just believe what they are taught and not question if it is true or not.
