I would kinda feel bad. I would feel like a snob by feeling more smarter if a person is driven by despair. Even if it is crazy, i could not call that person a moron if one died, that feels too terrible to do, even if it is crazy.
Its kinda like this that makes the r/reddit euphoric meme kinda true :/ in someway.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

that would not make anyone confess to god that would make the person worry about the individuals sanity.

If you ever find yourself feeling "more smarter," the more grammatically correct among us can relieve you of that delusion quickly.

Would that make you feel guilty 
If that stuff happend to one you knew closeby. I just watched a christian cartoon of a stubborn guy. Although i know atheism is not about hating god, but in this case. Would that leave a bad conscious if that stuff happend
Why should I feel guilty because some stupid bitch drowns herself for a mythological being?
Do I feel guilty when some dumb piece of shit blows himself up in the name of his imaginary being?
I've found that if someone's weak willed enough to do that for such a stupid reason but they were stopped, they'd simply find another reason to kill themselves.

Would I feel guilty that someone threatened, then committed, suicide just to make me concede a point?
Well, I don't know - would you say that "think the way I tell you or I blow my head off" was convincing of anything other than emotional blackmail? How can someone's emotional over-investment to that level of obsession possibly have any bearing on the truth of the claim?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
