What's empty and irrelevant is the non-sequitur you just made.
You may as well have said "Atheists don't believe in God therefore all bananas are made of candle wax."
Objective truths are true regardless of minds, regardless of what anyone says and regardless of whether they're proved or not. That's the whole point. This whole "brain fizz" non-argument against atheism is total incoherent non-sequitur nonsense. It's also extremely childish. Hence why Matt Slick loves it so much (you should see him in a debate with Dilahunty... it's the most childish behavior I've ever seen from a theist in a debate with a public intellectual). On the whole when you combine the pathetic non-sequitur and poisoning-the-well-typed-approach that the "brain fizz" non-argument has... I would say it's actually the worst theistic (non) argument that there is.
And what's worse is even if weren't an incoherent non-sequitur... if there's no God then the same applies to theists. Everything they supposedly say is equally "meaningless" they just merely think that there's more meaning when there isn't.
