My Own Scale for Dumb Theistic Arguments

Luke over at Common Sense Atheism has a scale for how he ranks several theistic arguments and asked me how I would rank them. Okay, why not?:

I'll be using the same categories he introduced for comparison. My guess is that the more informed a skeptic is about a particular argument then the less force that argument has in most cases, but not necessarily.

Occasionally give me pause

* Design arguments

No Way, José

* Cosmological arguments
* Epistemological arguments (argument from reason, etc.)

Waaaaaaay Terrible

* Axiological arguments (moral argument, etc.)

Profoundly, Jaw-Droppingly Awful;

* Arguments from religious experience
* Pragmatic arguments (Pascal’s Wager, etc.)
* Argument from the resurrection of Jesus
* Fulfilled prophecy arguments
* Arguments from the reliability of Scripture

Candidates for 'Dumbest Ideas Ever'

* Ontological arguments
* Reformed Epistemology
