None of the first couple arguments made sense.
One proof stated that
"(1) I define God to be X.
(2) Since I can conceive of X, X must exist.
(3) Therefore, God exists"
however, I can also conceive that I have a cookie in my pocket, and since I am able to do so there must then be a cookie.
I checked. Not only is there no cookie, but I have no pocket.
Another said-
"ARGUMENT FROM MIRACLES
(1) My aunt had cancer.
(2) The doctors gave her all these horrible treatments.
(3) My aunt prayed to God and now she doesn't have cancer.
(4) Therefore, God exists."
However, my neighbor, a very devout Christian woman, just recently died or breast cancer. I am positive she prayed every day, and yet it kept coming back and eventually she died. Because her prayers were not granted and in the bible a passage guarantees the granting of the devout person's prayers, there must be no god.
Find better evidence, all these arguments are flawed.

Imagine the scene in Heaven, before Jesus was born into this world. Being outside the bonds of time, he's been studying the script, just like in a Mel brooks movie...
J: Errr...Dad? Can I have a word?
G: Not now Son, I'm busy hiding dinosaur bones.
J: No but...I really think we need to talk about this plan.
G: (sighs) Now what?
J: Well it's just this bit about "God so loved the world that he sent his own begotten son to die for the sins of mankind..."
G:Yes?
J: The son...that'd be me, right?
G: Yes. And?
J: Erm...well if you love this lot so much, how come YOU don't go down and get your head kicked in for their sakes? When did I inherit that honour?
G: It's an ineffable plan, son.
J: Yeah, it's a sucky plan, that's what kind of plan it is!
G: Look, they need a way in...
J: You're God, for God's sake! Just let 'em in, why don'tcha? Come down off your big sulky "you turned your back on me, I turn my back on you" high horse and just let 'em in! Why do I need to get nailed to a tree? What the hell does THAT prove?
G: Ah my son...it doesn't PROVE anything. It hints. Strongly.
J: Screw that, Dad, I'm not going - you want 'em here so bad, you go! Gimme that shovel and pass the Brontosaurus head...
G: (looks to camera) Kids...who'd have 'em?

Yeah I've read them on another site, they're hilarious.
I like this one:
ARGUMENT FROM WHAT MAKES SENSE
(1) Doesn't it just make more sense that an all-knowing, all-powerful, all-good deity created the world out of nothingness, from magic, essentially, and then punished us for eating a piece of fruit, and then incarnated himself in human flesh and came down to shed his own blood so he could break his own rules, and then went through hell on a temporary basis and then went back into the sky and promised to come back and take everyone who believed in him to this heaven no one has ever seen?
(2) Well, doesn't it?
(3) Therefore, God exists.

... and every single one of them requires you to have already decided God exists prior to the proof being valid.
Some favorites of mine :
PARENTAL ARGUMENT
(1) My mommy and daddy told me that God exists.
(2) Therefore, God exists.
ARGUMENT FROM NUMBERS
(1) Millions and millions of people believe in God.
(2) They can't all be wrong, can they?
(3) Therefore, God exists.
DORE'S ARGUMENT
(1) I forgot to take my meds.
(2) Therefore, I AM CHRIST!!
(3) Therefore, God exists.

I know of Billions of Proofs that God exists you can find at least one by looking in the mirror.

Why do the proofs have to be perfect...? I can't even think of a way to prove, to anybody's satisfaction, that I exist.

All theory, conjecture, and based on faith. Accept that and you will find your way to true enlightenment. Which, BTW, does not preclude God in case you do not get it.
Okay, I hit the link. You do get it, my cousin!

I'd be satisfied with just 1 proof, but it would have to be consistent and sound.
