But agnostics exist, so God might not exist?  :o

fabricated for battle / No time has been wasted

the cranial freezer, paranoia is the bastard and I
find genius Petrify / Paralyze

So taken to its logical conclusion, if non-believers in Santa Claus exist...then Santa Claus must also exist. Or something?

Some people brought this up in the comments. His response? "Read past the title, understand the article, and then make an informed decision".

Hell, in one comment thread, he showed that he couldn't grasp meaning in satire.

I encountered too much of this sophistry in a Jesuit college to pay any attention to it at this stage in my life.

I don't believe in Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, so obviously, they both exist.

Don't you just love this kind of nonsensical "logic"? ::)

If you don't believe in something, it must exist.  What type of twisted logic is this?

Ironbite-I can't follow it past that dive at the end.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

I think this is following "A creation proves a creator." line of reasoning, which the OP title doesn't really seem to properly indicate.  Having said that, I will give this guy credit for one thing.

Quote
Whether this YHVH-Yahweh is a personal God, whether he answers prayer and does miracles and is in fact a Trinity of Three Persons united in one Godhead and whether the second person of the Trinity became incarnate of the Virgin Mary and died on the cross to redeem the human race–all that is another matter entirely.

If we humor the idea that his above reasoning is correct and that there is a god, then this is a good point.  That is, arguing for the existence of a god is different than arguing that said god is how you imagine.

One sec, I'm not believing in those.

Okay, check the closet or something, I specifically believed they weren't in there.

Put it this way - In mathematics you can "prove" anything you want when you multiply anything by zero.
This guys' "logic" is total bollocks.

I'd say it derives more from the Ontological argument.
