A rational person can easily refute a flat-earther argument that the surface of the Earth is not curved. For a flat-earther, however, his (or her) argument against a curved earth, is convincing.

Similarly, a religious person can easily refute the argument

Im a 14 year old girl who doesnt want to wear a hijab but my parents force me to wear one. It makes me dislike it more. Im not ready for one no matter what people say and they get really mad at me. I have bad grades and no motivation. What do I do?

Existence of evil => God doesn’t exist

For some atheists, however, the argument is convincing.

They bring up the argument because they find it convincing.
