I think it's very cool and creative. Building a niche theory to disprove your opponent is an awesome way to debate.
Ahhhhhh, I didn't know that ! That makes more sense now.
First time I heard about it I was stonned the feck out, thinking "wtf is dis shiet".
It's indeed a very creative way to show the loopholes of "religious thinking", but I think most people very deep into religion would have the impression to listen to chinese language if they heard that theory.
My own "technique" to make religious people doubt is to prove them I can live by the same "moral standards" without following their religions, and then asking if I'd go to "hell" or "heaven". If I'm going to hell it means their god is not smarter than a douchy kid seeking for attention, if I'm going to heaven it makes their religion useless. That's the shortcut but it makes interesting discussion ^^

There's a pretty massive distinction between believing in something illogical and being an inherently "illogical" person (I can only interpret this word to mean less capable of thought, or less intelligent).
To demonstrate this argument, your inability to make this distinction in this specific instance does not make you stupid, nor does it mean that I should expect all of your posts to be stupid. Though this one is. Very.

In this context I am talking about discussing religion with religious folk.
Why should I expect logic from someone who has already illogical opinion about a subject? I've never really met a religious person who says "of course, without proof of my religion scientifically it can be said to be completely false, but I personally believe in it even so".
None of them seem to be able to separate fact from fiction...

Talk to my dad. He's a Christian, but he told me right off the bat that he knows his religion could be completely wrong, but he believes anyways. Maintaining your belief while knowing you can be wrong is the ultimate show of faith in his mind. And I believe him on that. He let me decide my religious affiliations because he knows that, whatever I choose, I will believe it all the stronger because I decided on it myself. He's the first to point out the hypocrisies of Judeo-Christian beliefs, but he'll still believe in the ideal of a Christian god despite it being questionable.
Believing in an absolute truth requires no commitment. Believing in an almost certain falsehood requires the pinnacle of faith.

No, you weren't, you were just taking an opportunity to insult them. Were it within the context of a discussion about religion you would describe them as "people who hold illogical views on this issue," not "lol stupid peeepz."
