Circular logic is the bread and butter of a religious debate. Just a sampling of the crazy stuff that turned me off of religion:
1) There's an all powerful man in the sky, who watches every minute of yours and everyone else's life. Who knows every action you will take in life.
How is that even something you can say to someone with a straight face? The concept is beyond ridiculous.
2) Said all powerful being gave us free will.
Wait so, he gave us free will, but knows everything that we'll do in our lives. If the person who created you knows everything you'll do before you do, you don't have free will. You're just following the script.
3) God is a loving god.
Who created the devil? The devil was the very first angel created. If big daddy there really know everything of the past, present and future, then he knew exactly what he was creating. And the angels are also created in God's image iirc, which means all the evil of the devil is a part of go.
4) God created humans. It's obvious, because something can't come from nothing.
Then who created god? And who created the creator of god? And who created the creator of the creator of god. Ad infinitum.
It's absolutely insane to think that some magic book written by our ancient ancestors in the desert has all the answers to modern life. That book is a collection of myths, glorified war stories and morality tales meant to show people how to live a just life. Nothing's wrong with that, but the blood stained history of religion has tainted any moral authority they may have once had.
