The whole made up story about the bartender is nothing new. It's just one of many made up stories. Always looking for it's origin. What are their names? Where did it happen? When? And who can I get in contact with to confirm it?
Total bollocks any case though.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

First of all you need to prove that the mocking caused the deaths. Good luck with that one.

Yeah, so?
Can I just point out that you missed the Christopher/Peter Hitchens comparison.
Wouldn't the timing suggest a connection?
No?
Somebody mocks god and drops dead a day later. Another person mocks god and doesn't. Where is the connection at all?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

People who haven't mocked god die in odd ways all the time too, so do people who have actively worshiped him. I think it means that god is a dick and hates everyone.

Prove it.
Why would the bartender want to kill his own customer?

"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

For some reason I'm imagining Family Guy's Peter Griffin: "A guy at work mocked Jesus. Ten years later - Bam! Herpes."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
