That's quite an interesting interpretation of what I said. It's almost as if you have a bias that causes you to read things that aren't there.
It's fantastic that this little girl found the courage to speak up, but attributing such a simple act to God while touting yourself as a beacon of reason and logic is just silly. That you believe my criticism of his conclusion leads me to be uncaring about the girl's position is that bias I referred to.
In fact, specifically mentioning how rational he was while celebrating being able to be convinced by easily explainable evidence sounds more like a marketing ploy to give his conversion story more clout in the eyes of the faithful. It's the kind of thing that gets theists feeling tingly but makes atheists nauseous. It's religious masturbation.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
