One of the great things about religious argument
is that it's impossible to do logically. Faith,
including lack of faith, is by its very nature
contradictory to logic and therefore cannot be argued
didactically.
"'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for
proof denies faith and without faith I am nothing.'
'Ah,' says Man, but the babel fish is a dead giveaway,
isn't it? It proves you exist and therefore you don't,
Q.E.D.' 'Oh, dear,' says God, 'I hadn't thought of that'
and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic."
And
then there is the Hindu tale of the atheist who, with
every conscious thought, uttered to himself "there is
no God." Upon his death, he immediately moved on
from the cycle of life -- for his faith was perfect
and God was always foremost in his
mind.
