It’s not a large book at all – absolutely all arguments for a deity are ignorant and fallacious (and hence the need to indoctrinate children before they have a chance to learn to think).

Back then I thought they could all be reduced down to proof # 20

#20 ARGUMENT FROM ABSURDITY
(1) Maranathra!
(2) Therefore, God exists.

I stand by that. 😉
