announce it every time someone uses the expression. Repeating something you believe - as a drive-by, knee-jerk 5-word reaction - doesn't mean a thing to someone who believes the opposite. You think they're wrong. They think you are.

You'd be more effective (and probably better received) if you simply ignored that part of the conversation. Try contributing something useful that has more substance than "There is no god. eom."

to god? Even people that believe that there is a god cant prove that god exists. They have faith that a god exists. The next time you do a business transaction have the client pay you with faith.

By the same token Charlie, you can't prove God doesn't exist. I have faith that God exists and I also believe that you exist even though I can't see you. And your final comment about a client paying in faith...what's that supposed to mean?

It means that faith has no value.
