Foolish Atheist Agruments: How to deal with them?

Bobby Henderson in his protest to the teaching of Intelligent Design in Kansas developed the absurd argument that there is a deity that resembles spaghetti and meatballs. Its name? The flying Spaghetti Monster. This was meant to be satire but asserts that creationist claims that there is a God goes without proof and thereby makes an untestable claim. However, this is a false assertion. Spending some time in the scriptures would show them where the proof can be found.

"Listen to this, O Job; Stand still and consider the wondrous works of the Lord." - Job 37:14

Mr. Henderson should consider the works of creation. God has put us here in the middle of all His creation and we still look around blindly and deny His being. Man will go so far as they need to, even to create false idols in the form of a spaghetti gods, just to remove the fear of future judgment.

"Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment" - Hebrews 9:27

Mankind loves its sin and will do anything to keep it. If we can remove God we can indulge in any sinful pleasure without fear of judgment. Remember when dealing with people who want to argue the existence of God that they are really covering up sin. You could waste many hours of time going point by point trying to convince them of their logical failings. Instead, go for the conscience by using the law and allowing the Holy Spirit to do His work.
