ARGUMENT FROM EXHAUSTION (abridged)
  1. Do you agree with the utterly trivial proposition X?
  2. Theist: of course.

  4. Theist: Um, no, not really.
  5. Good. Since we agree, how about Y? Is that true?
  6. Theist: No! And I didn't agree with X'!
  7. With the truths of these clearly established, surely you agree that Z is true as well?
  8. Theist: No. So far I have only agreed with X! Where is this going, anyway?
  9. I'm glad we all agree.....
  10. [Atheist goes on and on and on...]
  11. So now we have used propositions X, X', Y, Y', Z, Z', P, P', Q and Q' to arrive at the obviously valid point R. Agreed?
  12. Theist: Like I said, so far I've only agreed with X. Where is this going?
  13. [Atheist continues to go on and on and on...]
  14. So we now conclude from this that propositions L'', L''' and J'' are true. Agreed?
  15. I HAVEN'T AGREED WITH ANYTHING YOU'VE SAID SINCE X! WHERE IS THIS GOING!?
  16. [Still going...]
