"Arguments" you're tired of seeing

I may be new around here but I've been around on the internet debating for a decade or more at least and a lot of the "arguments" if you want to use the term loosely haven't changed. I realize you can't expect people to come up with something new and original all the time but after so long there are just some things I get tired of having to effortlessly explain to people.

Top of the list? "Atheism = Communism.... and therefore atheism is responsible for the horrors of communism"

No, communism is responsible for the horrors of communism.

What usually brings this up is when you point out for a supposedly benevolent god with a supposedly peaceful religion there's an awful lot of murder and genocide in the holy book and an awful long history of murder and genocide on the part of the followers of the holy book.

And yes, I include all the Abrahamic religions in that which is why I didn't say "Koran" or "Bible".

Finding an ocean of blood from another source will not magically make your ocean of blood go away, particularly if you're being dishonest about it the source the other ocean.
