My Christmas gift to you, a link to a great site listing over 300 disproofs of God’s existence. These are both brilliant and hilarious, and many of them are heard more often than you’d think.
Now, on a more serious note: From the blog Heart, Mind, Soul Strength, a great little meditation on the Incarnation, entitled “Making it meaningful to be human.”
And, finally:

Wow – those are convincing! Confirms my atheism for sure. But, they are strangely familiar. They are actually from an old list compiled by a pseudonymous ” Budokka,” from alt.atheism, the newsgroup. They were orginalluy comopiled in 1995 and were actually “arguments for the existence of God.” Whoever posted this, cleverly reversed the arguments as stupid atheist arguments.
The tell tale signature is “Boatright’s argument.” John Boatwright (get it? Noah!) was a weird troll at alt.atheism who had some strange arguments involving the vapor canopy and the outer solar system. Google the name.
These make much more sense if you read the originals.

I just wanted to share this link so you can compare and contrast. The adapted list you provided makes no sense on many keys without this. You pretty much need to have had to experience Internet Infidels or talk.atheism to make sense of these, such as “Dore’s” or “boatright’s” argument.
I really don’t mind Christians stealing stuff like this and making it look like their originals (“Got Jesus?”) because it is y’all who push the Ten Commandments so much. I just would rather they look for something that isn’t so obvious. Something more original, and funny. Like a Pope talking about the evils of homosexuality being just as dangerous as damaging the environment. Now, that’s funny!

Thanks for the link / glad you enjoyed.
I share your distress that so many Christians are closet (or not-so-closet) dualists. They don’t seem to “get” the incarnation …
Take care & God bless
