    It works like this:

    1. Assume for the sake of argument that the deity exists.
    2. Examine the horrific, implausible, and logically absurd implications of that existence.
    3. Use those as evidence that the deity doesn’t actually exist.

      The argument goes something like this:

      “I refuse to prove that I exist,” says God, “for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.”

      “But,” says Man, “the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that You exist, and so therefore, by Your own arguments, You don’t. QED.”

      “Oh dear,” says God, “I hadn’t thought of that,” and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

      “Oh, that was easy,” says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
