“Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. ...[text shortened]... feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don’t know sh@t?”
I beat the papers to it!

Of course the atheist was smug to the little girl. He's an atheist. And of course, you were there to reflect on his demeanour

You make the common theist mistake of believing (because God is so important to you) that removing him from a person's life will leave a huge God shaped hole that the atheist will need to fill with something.
Sorry to report but there is no God shaped hole in my existence. Why would i feel compelled to replace something that doesn't exist? I worsh ...[text shortened]... s. I seek only to be happy and to see those around me happy. I march to the beat of my own drum.
Anyway god is non-material, so there is no hole that is god-shaped. How silly

I cannot tell you where everything came from and neither can you!
If it cannot be explained by any other method, what are you left with? So I think it is
evidence for God, but like everything else accepting that will be a matter of faith.

You expect him to answer where 'everything' came from?
C'mon this question does nothing to further your cause, rather it makes you seem lazy
how it all got here, if all you can do is suggest another layer to an onion in the form of
it came from some place, which came from some place than you have not answered the
question only pushed it out a little bit more.

An atheist was seated next to a little girl ...
The atheist, who had just started to read his book, replied to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the girl. “How about why there is God, and Heaven and Hell, and life after death?” as she smiled smugly.
“Okay,” he said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”
The girl, visibly surprised by the atheist’s question, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.” To which the atheist replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven and Hell, and life after death, when you don’t know sh@t?”
