Occasionally, yeah! :D
Really though, it does take some skill to defend an absolutely nonsensical position with what sounds like a logical arguement!
I suppose I find it about equally as impressive as the work of a good comedian or a skilled con man- albeit for the most part significantly less entertaining.

Impressed as in a sort of shocking disbelief, yes. But never impressed as in influenced. Circular logic is an oxymoron.
Logic often walks an anfractuous jolting line, sometimes going places you wouldn't have previously expected it to. But it never ends up where it started. And if it starts in the Bible, that's where it has to stay.

Sometimes I'm impressed by arguments like this:
Science cannot be externally validated. Science can only be proven true using scientific means. Ergo, science is circular reasoning.

I know some atheists are deeply impressed with circular logic. Yesterday, I presented a circular argument by Richard Dawkins and they ate it up like popcorn. One even refined its circularity with mathematics.

I'm impressed that their brains are capable of handling circular logic, as opposed to none.

I like it when I talk to others about me. That's as circular as I can get.

Terribly impressed. I've converted religions dozens of times already. Oh, and I've been thoroughly convinced evolution is bunk three or four times, too. [/sarcasm]

I'm impressed that some people are such smooth talkers that they can actually use it to convince others that they are speaking the TRUTH.
If you can't dazzle them with dexterity, baffle them with bull$h*t.

The best "logic" is Colbert's logic:
"First off it's not my logic, Steve, it's God's logic, as written in the Bible, every word of which is true. And we know every word is true because the Bible says that the Bible is true and, if you remember from earlier in this sentence, every word of the Bible is true."

I sure hope you believe this sentence is right, because I say this sentence is right, and if you don't believe it, you're going to have to listen to ten year olds practicing violin for all eternity. It says so right here!
