The defense of an atheist is always a logical fallacy since they don't believe in absolute spiritual truth, yet they care so much about being "right".

The logical fallacy lies with the theists, wouldn't you agree? But I get the spirit of your question. Along the same lines of "could God create a taco so hot that even He couldn't eat it?" The conundrum lies in the idea that one thing contradicts the other, so how can it be true? That's the funny thing about wordplay, it is simply a game , it has no real foundation in truth. It enables you to make a statement like "This statement is a lie." If that statement is true, then it is a lie. If that statement is false, then it is true. So, what does this tell us? Not a heck of a whole lot.

we don't need to. We let Christians create all the illogical fallacies they want, to the point that the lack of logical ones balances it out.

Yes, I would suggest Oliver Whitehead-North and Bertrand Russell's "Principia Mathematica."
They were trying to create a complete mathematical system. It was Kurt Godel who answered it with the incompleteness theorum.

No problem! (For your friendly neighborhood atheist pagan Taoist).
In paradox lies the truth.
The Tao is like a well:
used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void:
filled with infinite possibilities.
......
Thus it is said:
The path into the light seems dark,
the path forward seems to go back,
the direct path seems long,
true power seems weak,
true purity seems tarnished,
true steadfastness seems changeable,
true clarity seems obscure,
the greatest art seems unsophisticated,
the greatest love seems indifferent,
the greatest wisdom seems childish.
The Tao is nowhere to be found.
Yet it nourishes and completes all things.

the logic would have to be tested and examined by others so i fail to see how it could fail more then 1 test by diffrent people.

Absolutely! This can so often be the case that you don't even need to be an atheist for it to happen :)

any thought process or formula based in logic will eventually contradict itself. that's how socrates won all his debates.
