Has anyone ever said that to you?
I can't say I've ever heard an Atheist say those words exactly, but someone did tell me that they don't need to "investigate" anything to be sure God isn't real, just as we don't need to investigate anything to be sure that unicorns aren't real.
Btw, what are those little guys on your signature?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
