The most curious response is the one that is most underrepresented:  a direct repudiation of known arguments FOR the existence of God.  We have thousands of years of discussion about God, and very little of it has come up so far.  Is it a lack of a sense of history, philosophy, theology?

I think this is the rub.  The discussions mean little to me in a faith sense because I don't believe the premise.  There is nothing there to refute, it's all a matter of belief.  I think you have to have some belief or question about the premise in order to take it seriously.  I do, however, find the history and development of religion to be fascinating.

And, how to sift through all of it?  Which arguments for the existance of God merit discussion and which, really, are just out of left field?  I'm sure you don't mean God on toast or crying statues.  The existence of the Bible doesn't add much to the argument.  The discussions about God are just that - circular talk.  Meeting the threshold of a credible argument for someone who doesn't believe is extremely high.
