Get back to us, which books you enjoy.  We haven't all read all of them.

Speak for yourself!

Maxwell's demon is not an argument, it's a thought experiment.

How thoughtless of you ;-)

Don't do that.

It's just an arbitrary quality by assumption only.  It lures the sheep in.  Just hearing the word "perfect" puts them in a Jesus trance, and they say, "Yeah, that's right.  God is perfect, so he must exist.  There's not enough there to even make a fake syllogism.  Just a series of mental lapses, and a conclusion.

Part of the theological masturbation theologians engage in.

I meant I've never gotten an answer as to why 'perfect' means 'must exist'.
Meh, it's just a greatness. My god is great because... [long list of improbable things]. The god dicksizing chat in "Conan, The Barbarian" is an example.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Krum would be your kind of pagan god ;-)

I would not say I'm only 99% certain that Santa Claus doesn't exist, or Aquaman doesn't exist. So why can I only be 99% sure that God doesn't exist?

Now you said it!  Please don't properly pronounce Cthulhu ... we don't need another primal god arising!

Just expressing your cultural preferences.  As we all do.  Of course, in human conflict, we want to dictate to every other person on the planet, even though we can't get our spouse or children to obey us ;-)

My don'tcareness starts way before 99%.
