I've come upon some fantastic ways to really get under the skins of our atheist friend. All of these have been tried here before with great success. Try these, they really work! (stolen from some website somewhere)

1) Ask them why they are bitter against God.

2) Tell them that if there's no God, they might as well go out and kill people.

3) Ask them to pray with you.

7) Tell them that the universe is too complex to "just exist," and must have been created by a God who "just exists."

13) Use the Second Law of Thermodynamics to disprove evolution.

15) Insist that the Constitution is based on the Ten Commandments.

18) Tell them they know in their hearts that God exists.

19) Point out that we all take things on faith.

20) Before starting an argument, say "You're an atheist? That means you're going to hell!"

24) Drink the last beer in the fridge.

26) Witness for Jesus, and completely ignore anything your competition says.

37) Explain that the lack of proof doesn't mean it didn't happen.

45) Insist that the Bible is meant to be taken literally -- all except that verse he just showed you.

49) Point out that the fact that he talks about God so much proves God's existence.

51) If a plane crashes killing 300 passengers and crew, but one little girl survives with only third-degree burns, tell him that this miracle proves the existence of God.

59) No matter what he quotes from the Bible, say that it's out of context.

60) ...and when he points out that the quotes are in correct context, tell him you need to be a Christian to understand the true meaning of the Bible.

65) Talk about how you used to be a miserable, sinning, drug-abusing, alcoholic, sex-addicted, spouse-beating criminal until you found God.

80) Insist that a person who makes Christianity look bad was not a True Christian.

82) Smile smugly and tell him that there are no atheists in foxholes.

89) Equivocate scientific faith with religious faith, and conclude that, metaphysically, you are both in the same boat.

97) Claim that circular reasoning is legitimate due to circular reasoning being legitimate.

99) State that Christianity has done a lot of good along with all the mass murder.

103) End all your posts with John 3:16.

104) ...or "God Bless."

114) Most carefully of all, explain that while all of the Bible is inerrant, Revelation does not literally mean what it says.

120) Claim that Einstein was a Christian.

121) Claim that Darwin recanted evolution on his deathbed.

124) Say that evolution is not proven -- therefore the Bible is correct.

125) Tell him it's his responsibility to prove that God doesn't exist.

134) Say that God can't reveal himself with any real proof, because that would remove the need for faith.

135) When something awful happens, tell him not to blame God -- he doesn't interfere.

136) When something wonderful happens, tell him to credit God -- he made it happen.

137) Tell him not to ask what happens to those who have never heard of Jesus . . . HE has, and what is HE going to do about it?

147) Tell him that the Bible is true because the Bible says it is.

150) Tell him that he's playing right into Satan's hands, because Satan's greatest ploy is convincing people that God doesn't exist.

By making that statement, you just acknowledged God's existence! Big Grin


Haha, Deep, you blew that one! Where is your usual...'God does not exist, therefore how could he be thinking of me or anyone else?'
Most Atheists have some moral deficiency in their life that constricts them from believing in God. It is usually due to some mental complex that inhibits them from acknowledging anything greater then themselves. Superiority complex’s manifest in this fashion. The moral spectrum of this is infinite, homosexuality, addiction, lust, greed and so on. The basic mental delusion does not allow for the existence of God, not so much of the fact that there is or is not a God, but ideally that if there is a God then I must adhere to His will. And this my friends is the route of the problem.

I used this once on a wife-husband team at work and speechless followed.......


I'm sure. Plagerising Blaise Pascal is always particularly effective at riling-up those wascallly atheists.

That silly couple was probably wondering how to inform you that the only reason you worship the God you know and love is 'cause you were born here in Jesusland, USA. If you were born elsewhere, you would be worshiping elsewhere's God. What if your worshiping the wrong one?

What if there is a god that rewards honest reasoning/rational thought and instead punishes blind or feigned faith? How bad would that suck!

Yes, it is truly amazing how only 4% of the population of the US can cause all that homosexuality, lust and greed!

I think you are definitely on to something. Why, I think I getting a little lustful just THINKING of not believing in a god!

Most atheists have an intellectual value that constricts them from believing in god. It's called reality. It has nothing to do whatever in acknowledging that there are things bigger than ourselves. Ever looked up at the night sky with even the most rudimentary understanding of what you're seeing? Only those suffering from acute religion poisoning can do so and think that we are divine.

In order to bend to god's will, there must be a god. There is not. We have no choice but to bend to the will of nature; much as we'd like to live to be 200 years old, we will not. But it takes hubristic imagination to imagine that we understand the wishes of god in relation to what we eat, drink, and do in our daily lives.

The "basic delusion" is that there is a god. Don't believe me? Prove him. Give me one example of god's reality that I cannot explain otherwise. I'd really love to hear it.

Cat, your smug arrogance in your unfounded, implausible superstition is truly abrasive and sad, not to mention intellectually and morally insufficient. Lack of god is not the mental deficiency, dependence on him is.

I am sorry you completely missed the point. But I understand why you would.

A. If I have a moral deficiency such as homosexuality then it would be far easier to simply deny the existence of God so that I do not have to adhere to His will.
B. Superiority complex causes one to deny that he/she has to accept any authority other then themselves.
C. Inferiority complex causes one to regard themselves as not being worthy of the Love the Jesus Christ has for us.
Cat,

You understand nothing.

A. I have no underlying moral deficiency. I happen not to be homosexual, but homosexuality seems to be a normal part of humanity, and therefor is not a moral deficiency. The greatest moral deficiency is the unwillingness to study and understand morality on human terms, and to accept it on dogmatic terms from an ancient text written by people ignorant of basic contemporary understandings.

B. Moderation in all things is a virtue, even superiority. Yes, we are privileged to live in a time when our understanding of nature is superior to the primitive, Bronze Age semi-savages who wrote the bible. To assume we are not superior to them in many ways it asinine.

C. Jesus is dead. That assumes he ever lived. Love for our fellow humans is a fine ideal, and one that is hard to accomplish, but worthwhile to the extent we can do so. To love others is to love ourselves. This we have learned over thousands of years of human experience. Unfortunately, religion give us reason not to love certain people. Your friendly neighborhood atheist is more likely to give you a fair shake than someone of a competing religion.

Dear Deep,

Do you have absolute proof of any of above?
