ARGUMENT FROM MARTYRDOM
  1. The apostles definitely would have willingly died for something they knew wasn't true because they were trying to overthrow governments and gain power.

ARGUMENT FROM EYEWITNESS (II) (sometimes follows or combined with the previous disproof)
  1. Someone wrote the Creation story in the Bible.
  2. That someone obviously wasn’t an eyewitness to the described events because they are completely unbelievable (and I think there are two very different Creation accounts in Genesis 1 and 2).
  3. Therefore, God doesn’t exist.
ARGUMENT FROM EYEWITNESS (III)
  1. No one's ever seen God.
  2. Therefore, God doesn’t exist.
ARGUMENT FROM HALF A WING

THE ARGUMENT FROM CHRISTIAN IMMORALITY (although it could probably be adapted to just about any belief or non-belief)
