Tell him the spaghetti monster will turn Allah into pasta and boil Allah until it is el dental, and then add him along with any other Muslims found loitering in Muslim heaven as seasoning for consumption during the pastafarian banquette at the end of time.
El Dental, is that the feared Mexican mobster dentist played by Trejo?

You should absolutely convert to Islam, and as quickly as possible. Once your initial conversion is complete, enroll at the most religiously radical madrassa you can find, study hard, become an imam...then destroy from within.

"No thanks. Please don't bring this up again."
"How about I respect your beliefs, and you respect mine?"
"If Allah wants to talk to me, he can do so directly."
"I don't care if Allah exists, I'm not looking for things to worship."
"If he's testing us, maybe it's a test of critical thinking skills?"
"Anything that requires human worship isn't very powerful anyway. Remind me why he needs your help?"

My explanation of this, is that the test is not actually a test from Allah's point of view - because He knows everything - but it is a test from our point of view since we do not know what Allah knows.
Based on that answer, I think that we are basically supposed to prove something to ourselves ... about ourselves. We can't "prove" anything to Allah because He knows everything. He is All-Knowing. This life is a test only in the sense that it is a test to demonstrate to our own selves what position we will earn in the afterlife and why, not to demonstrate to Allah.
Unlike the exams that we take in class where the teacher acquires some information about the students (i.e. based on their grades), Allah doesn't acquire any new information about us after our test is over because He already knows everything. So, the test that Allah speaks of is a fully self-referential test because the information or knowledge that is intended to be gained after completing the test is only for ourselves, not for Allah.
I'm going through a test only to prove something to myself about myself. I can't prove anything to Allah, although He is the one who is testing me.
