Man – I think, therefore I am.

Man - Are you the God depicted in the Old Testament?
There are better conversations with this guy. Try getting one copy of the interview with God by Ephraim Kishon.
Besides the lack of originality, the argument itself isn't even really fundie. It's what nearly every Christian theist on this planet is bound to believe. So, I give it a 3 just because its origin.

God You have need of inventions due to sin entering the perfect world I created.

It never ceases to amaze me how these halfwits come out with arguments 'against thinking' and expect them to be taken seriously, when they are caught THINKING THEMSELVES. I mean, not effectively, or accurately. But the above does describe some sort of train of thought. A proof that no proofs are possible, which would itself be a proof, and therefore not possible.
Ah yes, thinking is evil.
Total cortectomy for God *thumpsup*

Can someone explain to me why these people object to words like stupid, ignorant or brainless? One would imagine that, given their deity's apparent hatred of thought or any kind of thinking process, they would wear them as badges of honour that demonstrate their faith.
God There you go thinking again.
Yeah! Right on! Bloody thinkers! With your poncey... thoughts... Stop it! Stop thinking immediately Mankind!
Blind unquestioning faith and jaw-dropping stupidity are clearly much better than than those arrogant God-haters and their thinking...
At least, that's what I think. I think...
The fact that any sentient being thinks this represents reality is a disgrace.
Hilarious, too, that such a conversation never has and never will actually take place. "God" just doesn't feel the need to ever *actually* communicate with us. He works in "mysterious ways" which includes having men in dresses ask for your money and making people roll around on the ground speaking givberish.

Man - Hey, God, if you're up there, show me a sign.

Man - Hail Satan. Ya listening, God? Hit me with lightning or something, ya punk.

Man - God, we've been asking for you for 40,000 years, where are you?

"God You have need of inventions due to sin entering the perfect world I created.
Man - But if the world was perfect and I was part of the world, how could my thinking make it less perfect?
René Descartes was a Christian and used the "I think therefore I am" logic to argue that God exists.
K, by the way, God is also referred as female over half the time in the Old Testament.
Silly me, THINKING, that's the problem! Let's all stop thinking, you people at RR first. Oh, for the record, the only way not to think is to die, goodbye!
Man: Please God, can you end all the war, pain, hatred and poverty in the world?
God: ...
Man: Please, lord, I beg of you!
God: ...
Man: Just give me a sign, any sign that you're there!
God: ...
Man - So you made me the creature with the most powerful brain on the planet, except for yours?
...
Man - You're a douche.
"God There you go thinking again."
The fact that they could see no wrong in this embodies everything that is wrong with stupidities like religion, psychics, faith healing... anything that requires a suspension of questioning and critical thinking is patently absurd.

Only among Rapture Ready Retards, and like minded fundies, does this make believe dialog seem rational.
Rene Descartes once stopped at an inn for a small libation. When he finished, the waiter asked, "Would you like another, sir?" "I think not," said Descartes, and disappeared.
"What great fortune for leaders that men do not think." - Adolf Hitler
As for me, I prefer to think. A lot. If I'm over-thinking, at least I know I'm still thinking.
Good luck on your end.
At the risk that someone already wrote this :
Man - Wait, you talking to me, would definitely prove your existence, therefore removing the need of faith and without faith you can not exist, therefore you don't.
The man later died at a pedestrian crossing.
"Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible; thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man."
- Bertrand Russell
And why fundies are SO scared of Atheists. Because we think for ourselves.
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
Man - I think, therefore I am.
"God I am. I was not created. I create. "
Why is it so hard for people to believe that the universe cannot just exist alone, but god can?
Cogito, ergo sum. I'd rathter think for myself than listen to some egotistic skybully.
More detailed: Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum. I question, therefore I think, therefore I am.
Man - Well, if you created me, then why did you give me the ability to think?
God - That wasn't me, that was the serpent that decieved you.
Man - But in the Bible, Adam was given the task of naming all the animals before he ate the apple. How could he do that if he couldn't think? For that matter, even animals display evidence of having the ability to think, even if --
God: Look. Do what I say or I'll send you to Hell. That's really all you need to know, all right?
Man - But that doesn't -
God: DO IT!!!!
Man - . . . Douche.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
