The transcendental argument for the existence of god claims that there are logical absolutes, a product of the mind, which are separate from the physical world.
If the universe were to end, would the logical value True still be True?
Now I'm going to get academic and ask: what the fuck are you on about? What sort of processes do you imagine will occur when the universe ends? Maybe it'll fucking be false! Stop bollocksing on about irrelevant shit.
When these people talk about True being True, you see it as somehow different from an Alcoholic living in Elgin.
Ok so maybe you see them both as holy things, but what fucking god do I need to tell me this stuff? Do I need to have a god to invent these things before I discover them? Did god need to say there was an alcoholic in Elgin, as well as saying that True is True, prior to their discovery?
Why, oh why oh why do we need a god to be responsible for creating these dull, boring facts for us?
Ahhh, their argument is deeply flawed, boring and useless. And the last two are worse than the first.

Well, you don't need God to tell you these things; True is True regardless of the universe. Nevertheless, their argument has some flaws right at the beginning: The law of excluded middle (and the other things they mention) are not logical absolutes; it is only a logical absolute that such things hold in classical logic, and that is not the only kind.
