Yesterday someone posed the question of why it took Richard Dawkins 350 pages to prove the non-existence of god. In my answer, I said basically that I could completely defeat any claim the theists make with just two words:
Says you.
You claim there's a hell where sinners and non-believers will be tortured forever?
Says you.
Faith in the sacrifice of Jesus will earn you eternal life in heaven?
Says you.
Your bible is divinely inspired -- regular mortals were just taking dictation directly from God?
Says you.
With no first-hand accounts, no empirical, objective proof, it's all any of their arguments ever amounts to.
Says you.
I'm curious about what other short, to-the-point refutations (preferably just one or two sentences) other atheists use when dealing with theists. And to be fair to the theists: can you offer an equally succinct proof for your side of the argument, if your god is as omnipresent and obvious as you claim?
