Rebuttal #3
If governments are just then why do they send criminals to life in prison, or give sentences beyond any normal human life span?

Atheist Argument #5
I am amazed at the wonder of nature and the universe on their own merits. I don’t need to believe there is some sky daddy at the bottom of it to reach this conclusion.
Rebuttal #5
I am amazed at the wonder of the smart phone and the automobile on their own merits. I don’t need to believe there are entire teams of people and factories at the bottom of it to reach this conclusion.
Atheist Argument #6
If the threat of hell is the only thing keeping you decent then you have failed as a human being.
Rebuttal #6
If the threat of…
A.) Prison
B.) Social conditioning
C.) Ingrained biological structure predisposing you to moral thinking
D.) An entirely revised definition of morality that cuts out half of your obligations to God, man, and creation
…is the only thing keeping you decent then you have failed as a human being. (Some might even suggest “empathy” which is just another term for morality, and in this case, that would be circular reasoning.)
..
Atheist Argument #7
There have been thousands of Gods and religions today and throughout history. How do you know your religion is correct?
Rebuttal #7
A.) There’s multiple of answers to 2+2 but only 4 is true?
B.) The probability of existence is incredibly high (I am quite certain) and this is due to the evidence we have. If it’s being argued that the nonexistence of countless alleged deities like Zeus or Thor somehow makes God less likely to exist, than that is fallacious. As inferred from the example above, 2+2 not being 3 has no effect on the probability of it being 4.
..
Atheist Argument #8
Islam is false because I find Islamic law immoral.
Rebuttal #8
A.) That’s like saying “Islam is false because Muslims like the color green, but my favorite color is blue.”
B.) You only see this as an issue because you’ve adopted your own subjective feelings as a lens by which you view these issues rather than being objective about them. Please prove your worldview is true.
C.) I don’t care what you find immoral. Your feelings have no bearing on whether or not Islam is true or false.
D.) Subjective emotional argument
Come back when you have an objective argument bud

Religion leads to wars and deaths.
Rebuttal #9
A.) Atheists killed the most people in history following Christians, however Atheists killed the most people in last 100 years alone, on average, Atheists killed 3500 people per day: ……It is worth noting that Atheism has killed the most people in history. Between 1900-2000, atheism has killed over 125 million people, and still counting. That is 3,500 people every day, and 3 people every minute! Making atheism the fastest ideology in killing people in a short period in history….

B.) See below:
C.) Only around 7% of wars throughout history were caused by religion
..
Atheist Argument #10
Can God create a stone he can’t lift?
Rebuttal #10
A.) Can you draw a 4-sided triangle?
B.) Your asking an absurd, contradictory question.
When we say God is omnipotent, that doesn’t include things that don’t exist in any reality. Your basically asking “Can God be omnipotent and not be omnipotent simultaneously?”
But if you argue back “Omnipotence can and should include contradictions” then you’ve automatically lost because then I can argue back “Great then God can create a stone he can’t lift and he can lift it. Problem solved!”
C.) Your question is equivalent of asking “Is God (insert random gibberish)?” or “Can God (insert random gibberish)?” The random gibberish does not exist. It’s not a thing or an entity in reality, so your basically asking nothing.

Atheist Argument #11
“Islam is a cult” or “All religions are cults”
Rebuttal 11
These people clearly don’t know what the definition of a “cult” is. Let’s educate them, shall we?
As for definition #1, cult is pretty much just a synonym for religion. There’s no positive or negative connotations, just a mere synonym. So the atheist is essentially saying, “Islam is a religion” or “All religions are religions.” Which in that case I’d say to the atheist, “Good job for passing kindergarten! Want a sticker?”
As for definition #2, Islam is clearly not a small group considering it’s the 2nd biggest religion in the world with 2 billion adherents. I don’t think you would call that small. Also how “small” does a group have to be in order to be considered a “cult”.
As for definition #3, how exactly is our love for Allah and his Prophet peace be upon him “misplaced” or “excessive.” What objectively counts as “misplaced” or “excessive” to begin with. Also couldn’t definition #3 apply to literally anyone including atheists. Aren’t people obsessed with celebrities, fandoms, tv shows, movies, book series, or any other famous person you can think of?
As for definition #4, Islam is clearly not a trend or fad considering it’s been around for 1400 years. Plus religion has been around since the dawn of time so how can it be considered a “trend” or a “fad.” Why can’t atheism or secularism or liberalism, etc fall under this definition?
As for definition 1 that’s incredibly vague since all religions will call different religions unorthodox. Also, I don’t see why that’s even a bad thing to begin with?
As for definition 2a and 2b why exactly is this problematic?
As for definition 2c, Islam isn’t a small group so it can’t fall under this definition.
As for definition 3, it’s literally just a synonym for religion.
As for definition 4, what exactly is problematic about this?
As for definition 5, Islam and pretty much all religions cannot fall under this.
As for definitions 1 and 3, Islam is not a small group.
As for definition 2 that could literally apply to anything.
As for definition 4, it’s just a synonym for religion.
As for definition 1, it’s not mandatory for a Muslim to live with other Muslims. A Muslim is allowed to have Non-Muslim neighbors, co-workers, etc. Plus severing the ties of kinship is haram. Also who cares what people regard as “extreme” or “strange.” This is just purely subjective.
As for the second definition it’s just a synonym for religion.
As for definition 1, this is just a synonym for religion.
As for definition 2, this can apply to literally anything.
