I usually respond to this particular bullshit with:
"You're fucking right I haven't found him. Because he's not fucking there."

Usually shuts 'em up.

Their belief that god exists is so certain that anyone who doesn't share it is against god, it makes sense in their dull minds since they are positive their god is real, so all people who disagree are against their gods and deserve hell.

I never quite understood the other argument of 'How can you not believe in god?' as if it was supposed to claim a standard and make atheism seem like an abnormal position.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

The stereotypical atheist that brings the most attention from my observations is a middle-class white teenage male.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Yeah, I think I've met that guy before, and usually it's his father he wants to annoy the most. Usually he'll grow out of the strutting.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

After all, shouldn't a person wonder 'I preach this, but the other guy preaches another stuff, this other stuff claims to be right too, why?

They do wonder about the differences. The answer is simple: Satan has corrupted all opposing views.
8000 years before Jesus, the Egyptian god Horus said, "I am the way, the truth, the life."

No one should stereotype others. But there is a huge difference between hate of a claim, or a concept, and hate of a group. Religion starts with naked assertions, it sets up in group vs out group, and that group think infects politics at a very dangerous and divisive level.

Penn Jillette said "Don't hate the faithful hate faith itself". I think it is perfectly reasonable to hate claims that are not backed up by evidence, and hate actions of humans that are based on those naked assertions.

Political correctness and setting up taboos out of some well intended sense of fairness does nothing to get to the knowledge of reality or our common existence. Not all claims are equal even if you agree to the human right to make a claim. Humans deserve the right to make whatever claims they want but that does not mean the claim itself deserves blind value.
