| - The Problem of the Wrecked Car, first put forward by Dr. Some Guy Involved in a Fender-Bender On The Way To Work, Ph.D, is one of considerable weight and elegant simplicity. The problem is stated as so: "If there is a God, I'd still have a car and my wife would still love me." Logically, it was broken down like this: Of course, this argument does not necessitate that there is no god, rather that there may be a supervillain god that takes sadistic pleasure out of killing you slowly from the inside. For a more concrete proof, one must turn to other formations of the argument.

| - The Problem of the Wrecked Car, first put forward by Dr. Some Guy Involved in a Fender-Bender On The Way To Work, Ph.D, is one of considerable weight and elegant simplicity. The problem is stated as so: "If there is a God, I'd still have a car and my wife would still love me." Logically, it was broken down like this: 1.
* There is a god. (premise) 2.
* God is omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and omniscient. (Definition of God) 3.
* If God loved me infinitely, he would make sure that my car is intact and that my wife isn't cheating on me with Tony Shalhoub. (premise) 4.
* God wrecked my car. (premise) 5. 1.
* On the way to church, too. I mean, for fuck's sake. (pr(e/o)mise) 6. 2. 1.
* OK, it was actually the gay bar. But I was going to the service right after. (premise) 7.
* My wife is not only cheating on me with Tony Shalhoub but with every male (and two females) in the cast of Monk. (premise) 8.
* God does not love me infinitely or is unable to stop bad things from happening. (derived from 3, 4, 5, and my urinary tract infection) 9.
* No god fitting the definition of point 2 exists. (derived from 6) Of course, this argument does not necessitate that there is no god, rather that there may be a supervillain god that takes sadistic pleasure out of killing you slowly from the inside. For a more concrete proof, one must turn to other formations of the argument.
