Best Atheist Argument

Mine.

Hym "I'm pretty sure the best atheist argument against the existence of God was mine. Which was (If you all don't remember which you probably don't even have to because you clearly have access to this in a way I do not) If God exists, it created an inferior race of being to have it's way with for eternity. If it's a sentient lifeform that did this deliberately, it is either culpable or directly responsible for everything that happens here. This is both the worst possible iteration of reality conceivable and something I wouldn't have ever chosen. Which means it's non-consensual. It (God) is, therefore, either evil or incompetent. I mean, seriously, I've been trying to poop for like 10 minutes now. I sat down because I- Ope, there it goes. I got it out while I was editing. But even now, my legs are numb because I've been on the toilet for so long. Hold on.................................... (Had to wipe) Alright... So, I'm literally a captive. Beyond that I'm trapped here with you. Which is not going great. And, um, yeah... "

Classical argument

A more refined form of argumentation from simpler times. Unlike modern argument, where one party seeks to assert emotional dominance over the other through the employment of manipulative tactics, classical argument involves the pure exchange of information and growth of one's own understanding of the world. The outcome of a classical argument is the mutual growth of logical fluency, where both parties are able to recognize flaws in their own reasoning and leave with an improved philosophical maturity.

"We had a classical argument about the nature of free will in my philosophy class yesterday. It was super informative and really fun!"

Argumenting

Similiar to the word arguing but not interchangable, it's used to denote civil and intellectual discussions between people.

As civilized intellectual minds of society, we were argumenting, NOT arguing!

Argument

Then, how did he celebrate Christmas Michael?

Hym "That's called 'No True Scottsman Fallacy' Michael. What you were going to say in response to that question. 'No True Scottsman Fallacy' Mike. That's also not an argument. So, he doesn't believe in Christ... And he celebrated Christmas any... So it isn't an option... It's a demonstrably True statement. Michael... Michael... If it isn't an incest cult, where did all the people come from? You have Adam... And you have Eve... We know how babies are made... How did you multiply 2 people into 9 billion? Incest. What do you call two people who share the same set of parents? Siblings."

Cold-Fire Argument

A regular argument in which the general topic at hand is unimportant but is still treated as if it actually is in some aspect, usually by the person/people who initially sparked the conversation in the first place. In most cases Cold-Fire Arguments get extremely heated for no other reason for the sake of the discourse rather than the actual topic.

"Why did we even decide to go along with that whole conversation last night? We got nowhere I ended with a shitty feeling afterward."

"It was a Cold-Fire Argument, that's why."

Waffle Argument

When a sentence is completely twisted or invented during an argument.
Essentially putting words in someone elses mouth to make them look bad or make yourself look better.

Person A: "I love pancakes!"

Person B: "So you hate waffles?!"

Person A: "No, stop using waffle arguments. That is a completely different sentence from what I said."

Argument Sandwich

When two people you are friends with get into an argument with each other, and they both want you to believe their side of the story.

Hey, Dave and Kate broke up. Yeah, they both messaged me about it and I don’t know who to believe. I’m in a bit of an Argument Sandwich right now man.
