Atheists: Facing the unfaceable

[Esquilax]

Do you often resort to threatening people when you can't come up with a rebuttal?

I don't if it's true in Australia, but where I'm from that's a common way of asking how sure somebody is about their point. I'm not saying anything like he should die if he is incorrect or something like that.

Yeah, that's not a turn of phrase where I'm from, and mostly when I hear it in religious discussions it's to intimidate: "Oh, you don't think there's a god? Would you bet your life on that? 'Cause you're going to hell if you're wrong!"

Of course, if that's not how you meant it, then it's a moot point.
