Just as Hitler created the nazi death machine, so, according to christianity, god created the damnation machine. And if Hitler was directly responsible for the Holocaust, and I think that any reasonable person would say that he was, then god is directly responsible for mass damnation.
If one good soul comes out of this creation then it was all worth it, don't you think?
Certainly not. That’s insane.

What? No. We do not believe any of it is real. The point is that you believe in something that makes no sense.

You are not making sense, is what he means. Instead of making counter arguments, you just make statements of belief. That is commonly known as preaching.
Atheist Forums Rules Wrote:4. No Preaching
To advocate, especially to urge acceptance of or compliance with your own theology, philosophy or point of view is not permitted. If you want to preach, get yourself a soapbox in hyde park and don't do it here. You are welcome to discuss your own beliefs, why you believe them, etc. Just don't expect or demand anyone to agree with them.
At best it is 'witnessing'. Either way... it is not a counter argument.
