Did he take his crucifix and go home?

We need one!

He'd have to climb down off of it first.

I'm not sure how you could test my evidence. My 'evidence' is when the Pastafarian Tome reflects its words, not as interpreted, but precise, that fit in exact representation of what my premise says about FSM using science for creation. I'm not talking about generalities arrived at by 'interpretation', and since the Pastafarian tome is considered hogwash, we can have no common ground for evaluation or discussion.

That's exactly the reply that I refer to, when I say, you can't ever discuss anything! You are completely unable to reach any 'common ground' with a Christian, not because the Bible is considered hogwash, but because you are so dead set on your 'rightness' that anything that suggests you could be wrong, is summerly cast into the trash. Oh well, I still wish I could be with you on your last breath --- just to see if you'll still maintain your surety of disbelief through the last exhale; not being morbid, just interesting!

He's making the point that he can say the same thing about any other deity and it makes as much sense to what you said. You chose not to engage that point (I have trouble believing it went over the head of someone as sesquipedalian as yourself) and went straight to 'you're too dead set against my position' to not 'summerly' cast it into the trash. How are we supposed to have a conversation when you so frequently fall back on a 'you're arguing in bad faith!' argument instead of addressing our points and questions?

Keep telling youself that it isn't morbid to wish to be present at someone's death to see if they'll admit you're right at the end. There're reasons some Christians come off as ghouls, this is one of them.

That's mighty white of you.

It also speaks to how your only real appeal of religion is the fear of death. I've seen people in their last breath. I did my job to make sure the car didn't blow up. I didn't care whether the guy was Christian, atheist. Buddhist, Muslim, or whatever.

If you're watching someone dying and the only thing you can think is "do you believe now?", I'd say I think you've never watched someone die.

When I was hanging over a 300 foot drop, supported by a single ice axe, I was not thinking about any gods, more interested in the guy trying to get a rope to me. (yes, I know I should have been roped up first, but I was young and stupid then)

When I signed the consent to be put into a coma and intubated, when it was very clear I might never regain consciousness, I can say that god(s) never crossed my mind.
