It's hilarious and dismaying and I'm pretty sure some of his blithe statements (like that his first premise is the one atheists 'usually' rejct--huh?!) are patently untrue. I only bothered to read down to where he started trying to tie it together, at which point I realized I was reading intellectual masturbation and went to wash my hands.
You did far better than me. I got up to, "Now this is a logically airtight argument." At that point I felt like throwing up and had to stop. Some time later I came back and skipped further down to where he discussed the second premise in the hope that he'd somehow acknowledge and resolve the circularity it brings to the argument. I haven't been able to keep anything down since.
Well, in all fairness, I only actually read the first few paragraphs, then I skimmed the rest, hoping to find the place where he said, "HAHA JUST KIDDING, THIS ISN'T ACTUALLY EARTH LOGIC" only I didn't find that place anywhere. Such a depressing state of affairs.
As for the other, may I suggest Saltines and 7-Up? It always works for me when I'm sick (granted, I'm not sure it will help settle a stomach unsettled by jackassery, but anything's worth a try). ;)
I might be mistaken because I just skimmed the article, but I think at one point e implies that since atheists exist God does not.... I'm not sure if I was using logic to conclude that, or eir particular brand of crazy town logic.
