Surely they've given it a bit of thought and realise how ridiculous it is or do they just use it, knowing it's nonsense, just because they were told it is a good argument.

    They dont scrutinize WLC's arguments that much.

    It's not in their interests.

    As it turns out, the man has never used a non fallacious argument for the existence of god.

    Not the ontological, cosmological or teological arguments hold weight.

    Some commit more than one fallacy.

    We're talking about theists, so that doesn't happen.
