You'll be sorely disappointed. The Greeks came up in the first post but, true to Fundie form, the argument was ignored in favor of ad hominem attacks & emotional appeals.

Several of these sound like fundies.

We've covered that. But, because it must be done:
RULES OF ATHEISM FUNDIISM TRUE CHRISTIANITY:
1. “I’m right and you are wrong" is the only possibility. Even fathoming that it could possibly be the reverse, or some third option, is foolish, a sign of weakness, & should not be done.
2. Repeat yourself to make it look like you have more points.
3. Someone disagrees with you? Who cares? They're amoral, evil, loveless, hateful, abominable excuses for "human beings"!
4. Waah! I'm being persecuted!
5. Repeat yourself to make it look like you have more arguments.
6. Be prepared at all times to lie and bluster, particularly when backed into a corner in an argument. NOTE: I can't even change this one, it's just too perfect.
7. When caught lying, always use one of four tactics: Ignore them, shift the goal posts, change the topic, or insult them.
8. Everything is in God's hands. Except for whether or not you go to Hell. That's more a matter of whether or not you agree with me.
9. Be fixated on humility & remorse, while simultaneously being an arrogant, unforgiving douche.
10. Hurl out straw men that make no fucking sense. A lot.
11. Repeat yourself frequently to make it look like you have a lot of good ideas.
12. Refuse to take in information that differs from your own view and oppose all such information through classification of such information in a derogatory and simplistic manner (eg by categorising it as Darwinist censorship).
13.Refuse to accept that truth is not black and white; that reality is complex and there are shades of grey. NOTE: Not only is this another perfect one, all Fundies I've seen argue with a decidedly black-&-white viewpoint, these guys included, so I'm not really sure where the fuck this comes from.
14.Refuse to forgive anyone else for anything, or even treat them with common decency, because you are naturally superior to them.

I find at this sort of point, it's best to start telling them they believe in aspects of, say, Catholicism or Mormonism. Persist in this for as long as it takes until they wail "That's not fair!!! You can't define what my beliefs are based solely on what you think they might be" or words to that effect.
At which point, you can feel free to run a victory lap. Clothing Optional.

How is a lightsaber>USS Enterprise? Even without a command crew, what are you gonna do, stand outside, in space, and hack away at it? One quick thrust from the impulse engines would send you flying off into space.
You forgot that starships were built in space and never meant to be on the ground unless they had crashed. Also, you didn't claim any space suit or anything.

They look more like rules of being a fundie to me. Let's see:
Fundie.
Fundie.
Fundie.
Fundie, very much so.
Fundie. I'm beginning to see a trend here.
Well, what do you know? Fundie.
I hardly need to say, do I?
One would think people would be less likely to accept responsibility when there's a big man in the sky to pass everything off to, but what do I know?
I'm not sure what point he's even trying to make here. Anonymous fundie, you fail composition forever.
What's a premordial slugde? Sounds painful.
I've seen a lot more atheists than fundies even attempt humility.
Replace "right" with "left", and we have fundie.
Fundie - when's the last time you've seen any of them acknowledge that there are shades of grey?
Like refusing to forgive people for holding slightly different beliefs than your own, and burning them at the stake. Oh, wait, that wasn't atheists was it? It was fundies!

I don't understand that one, either. Someone thought he was talking about the scientific method.
