I think there's something delightful about citing "the Bible" as evidence for the existence of God. It's like humming a bar of "Sex Farm" as evidence of the reality of Spinal Tap.
They don't seem to realize that (as was pointed out in the comments) these arguments can just as well be used to support existence of Zeus, Allah, or The Flying Spaghetti Monster. My favourite in this vein is C S Lewis' "Liar, Lunatic, or Lord" argument. Setting aside the fact that it fails as evidence in any case, how about:

Mohammad - Prevaricator, Psychopath, or Prophet?
Zeus - Deceiver, Dingbat, or Diety?
Buddha - Bastard, Batty, or, well, Buddha?
