"My adult son got this from someone he knows. It’s from the Christian apologist Joel Settecase of The Think Institute,

' The goal is not to win the argument but to engage in meaningful dialogue, to seek "truth in conversation"…Encouraging an unbeliever to really examine their own worldview can be a powerful apologetic tool.'

"Well, I am an unbeliever and my boy wanted me to give his 30 Questions to Ask Atheists, Agnostics & Skeptics a try. I think he wants crib notes. Anyways, here is the result:"

1. These are basically dumb questions

made up primarily, I think, by fundamentalists.

[Ninga]

2. Yep...

[Srkdqltr]

3. I think that either people believe or they don't. No talking into or out of. That's ok.

Unless either side imposes their side on the other. That's not ok.

[4th]

4. I freely admit I cannot prove there is no God (or gods), but ...

... I can do a good job on the flavors of deity believers believe in.

5. Nothing they can say or do can convince me of their father God in the sky image

[mitch96]

6. Or Santa Clause... "He knows when you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake" uff...nt

7. Ugh. So many straw man arguments and other logical fallacies.

Obviously they don't want you to actually answer it honestly.

They think this is clever. I suppose it is clever if you are are trying to impress someone in a 6th grade school cafeteria.

8. Faith is a gift.

If, like me, you haven't received it, there's no way you can be talked into it--it has to be bestowed.

[JoseBalow]

9. Like a flaming bag of poo

[Susan Calvin]

11. I'm sure you're right about that.

I'm also sure my mind would never do such a thing to me when it was functioning correctly.

10. This is presuppositionalist nonsense

As soon as it got to the question "Do you use your 5 senses..." blah blah blah, I knew where this was going.

Does anyone remember that dipshit from a few years ago named "Sye Ten Bruggencate"? He was this dopey apologist that made a splash on the interwebs because he used this kind of argument against Atheists until he got picked apart by Matt Dillahunty and a few others. He subsequently "left the ministry" because of a so called "moral failing" which turned out he was probably forcing himself on a woman (or more than one) and it was about to be made public.

Anyway, this idea that Atheists actually do believe in god because your senses can not tell you god doesn't exist or some such nonsense is what this line of questioning is about. It "Presupposes" that god exists and that you can not have a moral compass without knowing this.

It is an extremely circular and fallacious argument.

[NNadir]

12. This idiotic list of questions is not addressed to atheists.

It's just a form of mental maturation directed at themselves.

[Iggo]

13. The atheist position answers one and only one question: Do you believe in a god or gods?

That’s all, folks.
