Comment by MaryAnn on March 29, 2009 at 8:16pm: My all-time FAVORITE situation akin to this is when a Christian mentions something to do with the evil workings of Satan... when prodded to comment, I get to tell them--"Hey, I don't believe in your "good" god OR your bad god!" . That is so much more satisfying than the "Yeah, so see... I'm an atheist.", which is kind of a boring response...

Comment by Buffy on March 29, 2009 at 6:01pm: I second zeeman's approach. It not only gets rid of that preposterous assumption that the Christian god is all there is, but also that everybody believes in it (or Torah God/Allah, or some other god).

Comment by zeeman barzell on March 29, 2009 at 4:20pm: I think both can be used for the one, two punch. Example....
