You can make the existance of pink unicorns the center-piece of a philosophical critique.

It's about as logical as they can get... thats why they can't understand God.

Still don't have an answer for that one, huh?
The pink unicorns argument is a rock-solid critique of religious belief. You, on the other hand, have chosen childish insults. I think the reason why is clear.

Does it matter what color they are? It's clear that you do not know what the word "center" means or you are not just participating in empty rhetoric. The "pink unicorns" were a simple device to point out another empty argument.

Yes, the atheist sees an argument involving God as illogical as you see an argument involving the pink unicorn.

Are you referring to God as a pink Unicorn?

I'm not sure what you are trying to indicate there but let me assure you Atheists don't debate fantasies. It makes no since to debate something that does not exist. Christians would like us to debate their fantasy God but that would be a futile gesture. Christians have themselves so tightly locked inside that cocoon of ignorance as I heard someone say. Afraid they will lose their little piece of la la land of eternity. Afraid their fantasy boogie man Satan will jump out and take a bite of their butt if they dare to think. They refuse to debate the real world so why would Atheist debate their fantasy.

How many people's testimonies do you know of in which pink unicorns gave their lives so their enemies might live? How many people have gone down in history for living and dying that others might know of the boundless love of a pink unicorn? How many charity hospitals have been opened and are operating because of the love and compassion wrought in people's hearts by pink unicorns? Gee. I guess we can have a philosophical debate about it!

I like pink elephants better, why unicorns?

It's called an analogy. And you conveniently left out the parts about other religion's testimonials, which were given in the same vane.

No, it's an empirical critique, not a logical one.

Why yes it is. Elephants in the trunk of your car count, too.
