Cosmological argument

The cosmological argument is the notion that God created the universe and that there is always a cause and an effect. The three main parts to the cosmological argument is the uncaused cause, unmoved mover and possibility and necessity/possibility and contingency. There are 5 ways in Aquinas's version of the cosmological argument, however I'm only discussing the 3 that I stated as they are the main parts of the argument as urban dictionary only let's me type a limited quantity of characters.

Uncaused cause (4 premises and a conclusion)
• Everything has a cause
Every cause has a cause
• This cannot go back forever
•Therefore there must be an uncaused cause which doesn't have a cause.
•The uncaused cause is what we understand as God

Unmoved mover (2 premises and a conclusion)

•Everything that has been moved by something and that mover has been moved by something else.

•This chain cannot go back forever or movement would not have started in the first place.

•Therefore there must be an unmoved mover which isn't itself moved. This unmoved mover must be God

Possibility and necessity/possibility and contingency:

This one is simple. A contingent being is a being which needs a cause and a necessary being is the opposite meaning a being doesn't need a cause. It is believed that God is the necessary being who created the world.
Now that you know the fundamentals of the cosmological argument, read up the teleological argument (the argument from design)

Argumentative

Being ready and enthusiastic to argue about anything, especially dull bullshit.
The bubbly girl wanted to make everyone as argumentative as her, so she divided them into people that thought the new sandwich taco was a sandwich and people that thought it was a taco so that they would shoot each other in arguments over whether it was a sandwich or a taco.

The David Argument

"The David Argument" is a form of argument that is made when you have no actual comeback or good argument, often used by people that has poor debating skills and usually ends up in the losing side of a debate. This type of argument often starts off with "says the guy that..." and follows up with a personal attack against the other person (sometimes against the other persons family members or relatives) with no correlation to the subject being discussed whatsoever. This form of argument is said to be originated from a individual that was called "David" hence the name "The David Argument".
"Why are you using "The David Argument", cant you come up with better arguments?"

" Oh you're using "The David Argument" now, shows how poor your debating skills are"
"Only weird people with no intellect uses "The David Argument"

oral argument

A squabble whereby you require your opponent to give you a blowjob at da same time as he/she is presenting his side of da dispute.
One of da main advantages of an oral argument is dat you don't even hafta listen to your opponent's whiny monologue because he/she unavoidably has his/her mouth --- shall we say --- "otherwise occupied" at da time. What you can then do is to eventually suggest dat said grumbler engage in "regular" sex wif you in order to both satisfy your "pleasure me while telling me your side of da disagreement" stipulation and free up his/her mouth to do da yacking. Naturally he/she may not wish to do so, and thus he/she may just allow you to win said dispute without further debate, since said concession may seem less offensive/upsetting/humiliating than submitting his/her pelvis to you.
