 This one is pretty good
Or I could say "That depends on which god is true --- Are you [going to hell]?"
Everytime I tell a believer god doesn't exist --> Not the statement "I don't believe" but really saying "God doesn't exist" as a factual statement pisses them off pretty badly and they are like "OH CAN YOU SAY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE PROOF YOU ARE DISRESPECTFUL GOD HATES YOU" etc etc

I say, I'll see you there, in Islam hell!
But yeah, it's not cool to be threatened with it. It's just rude, and I would tell people that. If they persisted I'd ignore them and have nothing more to do with them. In this case, the guy sounded more respectful though and asked your opinion. You gave a great answer. It's a ludicrous concept from any angle.

Truth is you do not have proof you want go to hell if you continue to disbelieve and you will not till you die. Funny thing about death one never knows when it will come. Three good teenagers were killed in a car wreck in my area this weekend, just an accident nothing more, yet their dead and only one had graduated high school. Have no idea if any of them were Christians.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Methinks GC's been drinking...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

"Blow me" usually does the trick.
Also, even a Steelers fan can be right on occasion; GC is obviously knackered.

To be honest, yes. I'd fell a lot better. 
If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!

Or they could just shut up unless someone asks them. Why do they have to say anything unless they are asked specifically about the afterlife?

I laugh at them. If I'm inspired that I'm more afraid of the smell of my own poop than the fire and brimstone of their loving myths.
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

Tell them there is such a thing as mental therapy and explain why they might benefit from it.
