The worst argument: "Believe it or burn (at the stake or in Hell)". Any God who is to be so seen is practically a demon, a gangster, or a tyrant. Arguments to fear are powerful, but they are legitimate only when an obvious danger exists. We need to be careful in the presence of dogs, snakes, waterfalls and cliffs, motor vehicles, criminal-rich areas, and most chemical reagents. Behave yourself in the presence of dogs, back away from snakes, obey traffic laws, and follow the rules when involved with sulfuric acid, and you will be fine.
The best that I can come up with is that the Universe makes sense. so the cause of the physical and mathematical laws as well as the rules of logic have some supernatural entity establishing and enforcing them.
