Even when presented with solid scriptural evidence some believers still have the need to make excuses. I will list the ones I know of and perhaps you could help me with those I missed.
1. You are taking that verse out of context
2. We cannot know God's ways
3. God is not a theory he's real
4. You are using circular reasoning
5. Instead of answering question they conviently answer with something irrelevant
6. Answer a question with a question
7. They get incredibly hostile with answer
8. They are quick to report and hope God sees them

I am the evidence and every Atheist on here, just because you have selective eyesight doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I have to hide my profile lest a believer sees something on their to cry about. You guys have that victim role down pat.

To answer a question with question is preposterious! This is called Yahoo answers. Sheesh

9. "It's not about evidence, it's about faith."
10. "You wouldn't understand, you have to have faith to understand."
11. "Obviously, you don't know God. Those who know God know the Truth."
12. Cut and paste a page and a half of irrelevant stuff found on some fundie website.
13. "This is a Christian nation."
14. "I know Jesus personally."
15. "I have seen miracles."
16. "I have seen prayer work."
17. "How else can you explain the complexity of the world and the Universe?"
18. "You can't make something out of nothing, so how did the world come to be out of nothing?" (goddidit)
19. "What about Kirk Cameron's Banana Argument?"
20. "The Bible isn't meant to be taken *literally*!" (with the exception of the "gay" part of Leviticus and the "fool hath said in his heart..." part, or any other part that is convenient)

There is nothing wrong with number 6 except you apparently don't like to be on the defensive. Too bad. Sometimes it is very appropriate to answer a question with a question.
Of course it is preposterous if you say so. Would you mind giving me a reason why, other than you want to attack and evade? You are as bad as these Christians you are attacking. You have given no logical reason why it is "preposterous".
Hmmm, you seem a bit hostile, too. lol

And of course, Atheists' standard broken-record excuse "science just hasn't learned/discovered that yet" clears up everything.

And where is your list of Atheistic responses? To be fair, there are just as many of them as you say we have :)
