Yeah but I don't want her to give her the satisfaction of let her thinking I gave up.

You don't have to let her think you gave up - post in the comments section, or wherever this is all taking place, that spammers will be summarily banned and then ban her. Make it a policy on your website.

Of course not I want what every atheist wants, you know to make her feel bad, like a fool and frustrated because I don't care about her god, and she has no evidence to convince me.

That's not what I want when I talk to theists. My goal is to get to think more deeply, to consider the positions they have never thought about before, and to get them to question their religion like they question every other religion they reject.

It's not my goal or intention to make them feel bad about themselves, or prove how foolish they are; those may be side effects of the conversation, but it's not my goal going in. In fact I think that's pretty mean and unnecessary, since if you're doing a good job of making them seriously consider their position in a critical way, they will probably experience that range of emotions and more.

I wonder why it's your goal.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
