Ignore him, I'm not having that.
I propose the fact you can't explain how something comes from nothing is an argument from "incredulity", (I don't know what that means).
What I will say is if you want to feel hollow inside, settle for a meaningless life, can't celebrate Xmas or Eid because you will be acting a hypocrite because you don't believe in God, if you want to carry on not eating pork and not drinking because it makes you a better person then don't become an atheist (already encouraging you to eat pork tut tut).
As a Deist you can have all those things plus unburden yourself from man made dogma and still have the strength and morality of a believer, we study nature and the universe using science to be closer to God so you will become more educated as part of the deal.
atheists become miserable and alone, excluded even, take Minimalist for example, he is such an angry person mad at the world, I think he really needs to be held.
...... I'm off to turn this into a commercial.
