I like the ones where the asker is struggling under the weight of their own cleverness. As if they're the first person in the history of ever to come up with the clever concept, such as "Is Atheism really a religion?" or "Atheists, what if you're wrong?"
What are your favorites?

Atheists, what if you're wrong? If we're wrong, we lose nothing. But if you're wrong, you'll be subjected to wailing and gnashing of teeth in eternal damnation!!! And we all get to watch in pleasure as you do so!
yay!

I'm personally fond of, "What is your favorite part of the bible?". Some of the clever answers to that one are classic.
By the way, my favorite verse is Exodus Chapter 21, verse 20:
If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.
A verse which both promotes slavery and condones violence. Let's use this book as our moral guiding light.

I like to answer the "Atheist why are you here?"
My answer is almost always the same, "Cause I asked about God in the Pet Section, but they said I was dyslexic"
Though, the whole If we came from monkeys then why are there still monkeys series makes me laugh.

Why Don't ____(fill in the Religion) realize that if they don't accept Jesus (or other religious figure), they will rot in Hell.
Now I am a Christian and I believe that Jesus is vital to our salvation- but the question just antagonizes people. I know that many mean well who ask it- but that is not how it comes across to non-believers. There are better ways to teach about you religion then telling people they are eternally damned.
Oh and then there are the endless Mormon and their magic underpants questions- not sure why everyone is fascinated with Mormon underwear, but Mormons Don't ask about your underwear.

Where to begin? I always get a chuckle out of people using bible quotes to scare or persuade atheists. Talk about unclear on the concept.

I don't like any of them, to be perfectly honest.
They were "cute" at first.... every christian with 25% of their brain left coming in to ask "if we evolved from monkeys...." or "why are atheist in R&S if atheism isn't a religion" or pascal's wager...... etc etc etc.... the list goes on....... but now they are just irritating. I wouldn't say that any of them are my favorites.

I enjoy "How do you know what's right without God?"
A recent question about marriage reminded me how amusing it is when Christians forget that most of their "traditions" and "sacraments" were around long before Abraham created their religion.

I love the ones where they attempt to explain why Christians are persecuted. It always cracks me up that they don't realize the Christians are only persecuted in countries where they are a MINORITY! Makes me wonder how Muslims in our country feel...of course, they could care less!

I like how one particular user here defines religion, and uses his definition to brand atheism as a religion. He does it with zeal.
It's also funny that two separate users have used that same definition of religion.

Pretty much all of the drinking game questions.
"Atheists, why are you here?"
"If man came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?"
"Blah Blah Blah Pascal's Wager?"
and many more...
