The ones I couldn't answer, I deleted.

Typical response of an atheist, just ignore what you can't handle.

Re: 50 Proofs that God Exists

Because Christians pray more than every other religion, some things are bound to come true.

Such as building a country from nothing into the most powerful nation on earth?

I think I'll continue praying

Muslims don't pray too often

Their religion mandates that they pray 5 times a day. You call that "not often"?

Not to mention his ridiculous claims that Buddhists don't pray (they do: http://www.bffct.net/id41.html , from a Buddhist website).

That Hindus don't pray that often (most of them pray several times a day - http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/71816 )

Or that Sikhs don't pray at all - (they actually have very strict rules about prayers that are performed every day, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism...es_and_customs )

But hey, you can't really expect an atheist to actually do research before talking out of his ass

Conjunction fallacy: assumption that an outcome simultaneously satisfying multiple conditions is more probable than an outcome satisfying a single one of them.

Nirvana fallacy: when solutions to problems are said not to be right because they are not perfect.

Teleological Fallacy: In which a speaker claims that some object or idea has a purpose, and then claims that the existence of this purpose suggests or requires that the speaker's argument is true. The initial claim that a purpose must exist is rarely explicitly stated.

Fallacy of necessity: a degree of unwarranted necessity is placed in the conclusion based on the necessity of one or more of its premises.

Argument from repetition (argumentum ad nauseam): signifies that it has been discussed extensively (possibly by different people) until nobody cares to discuss it anymore

Argument from ignorance (appeal to ignorance): The fallacy of assuming that something is true/false because it has not been proven false/true. For example: "The student has failed to prove that he didn't cheat on the test, therefore he must have cheated on the test."

Begging the question (petitio principii): where the conclusion of an argument is implicitly or explicitly assumed in one of the premises

Correlation does not imply causation (cum hoc ergo propter hoc): a phrase used in the sciences and the statistics to emphasize that correlation between two variables does not imply that one causes the other

Demanding negative proof: attempting to avoid the burden of proof for some claim by demanding proof of the contrary from whoever questions that claim

Fallacy of many questions (complex question, fallacy of presupposition, loaded question, plurium interrogationum): someone asks a question that presupposes something that has not been proven or accepted by all the people involved. This fallacy is often used rhetorically, so that the question limits direct replies to those that serve the questioner's agenda.

Perfect solution fallacy: where an argument assumes that a perfect solution exists and/or that a solution should be rejected because some part of the problem would still exist after it was implemented

Cherry picking: act of pointing at individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position

Ad hominem: attacking the person instead of the argument. A form of this is reductio ad Hitlerum.

Argumentum ad populum ("appeal to belief", "appeal to the majority", "appeal to the people"): where a proposition is claimed to be true solely because many people believe it to be true

Argumentum ad baculum ("appeal to the stick" or "appeal to force"): where an argument is made through coercion or threats of force towards an opposing party

Appeal to authority: where an assertion is deemed true because of the position or authority of the person asserting it

Appeal to consequences: a specific type of appeal to emotion where an argument concludes that a premise is either true or false based on whether the premise leads to desirable or undesirable consequences for a particular party

Appeal to fear: a specific type of appeal to emotion where an argument is made by increasing fear and prejudice towards the opposing side

Appeal to motive: where a premise is dismissed, by calling into question the motives of its proposer

Argument from silence (argumentum ex silentio): a conclusion based on silence or lack of contrary evidence

People on this website that call themselves or are called "true christians actually use these fallacies at least 95% of the time.

It would be more interesting for people to listen to you if you were actually open to other people's ideas, or at least ready to listen to them.

Even if that were true, the other 5% would prove God existed.

And since God infinite 5% of infinite is still infinite. God exists. GLORY!

Re: 50 Proofs that God Exists

Believing in God is the logical thing to do when you turn to attacking the atheist standpoints. Here is where logic can be applied, on the very front doorstep of those who try to live by it. I myself have been known to post in logical terms when rubbishing atheist beliefs.

But logic should not be turned to when proving God exists, the bible warns against this kind of line of thought. Do not sully the battlefield of proving God's existence with dirty, filthy "logic" but rather rejoice in the crystalline purity of faith.
