Worshipping God vs doing good deeds!
If this universe was indeed created by an all-knowing God that is greater than us in every way including morals and selflessness, why is he so bent on us worshipping him? To me, that's a pretty solid argument against the existence of God. Why should such a creator care whether we even believe in him? What difference does it make? Yet, when push comes to shove, "believing in Jesus" seems to be the absolute most important thing to a Christian, even more important than doing acts of good.
I saw a sign outside a church that said:
"Good without God is Zero"
Why? You mean if I spent my life working at a food bank, busting my butt to make sure the hungry get fed, but I don't accept Jesus as my personal savior, all that good, in fact, didn't come from God but rather Satan? That's pathetic.

The funny bit about "believing in Jesus" is that it's really not what CHRISTIANITY is supposed to be about! That's Paulianism... following what the Apostle Paul wrote. Jesus did have some specific things he wanted people to do... if the gospels are to be believed, but Christians always ignore that stuff. That way lies communism! Can't sell off my SUV or my PS3, oh no! I love Jesus, but I need my 401k and my insurance plan! Call'em what they are: Paulists.
Bingo! You have to wonder how many Christians even realize that the majority of their religion comes not from Jesus' teachings, but from Paul's.
I point it out to them as often as possible.
