I would use the YouTube video “Pastor Glyn Barrett Debates An Atheist”
It’s less than 3 minutes but it breaks it all down for a crayon eating moron.

@newjaninev2 I suppose God told you that the debate wasn’t real and a “Shaman” or a ShaWomen such as yourself can verify that the debate is fake because you in fact attended that debate to stream it live on Facebook as proof?

@PorthosOh, grow up!
A couple of minutes on the Internet will suffice to dismiss this charlatan's lies.
http://gawdstruth.blogspot.com/2016/05/pastor-glyn-barrett-telling-lies-for.html
"All across the Internet people were discussing the lies told by Pastor Glyn Barrett until it reached a point where he felt he had to try and rectify the situation. He went back to his Facebook page and wrote:
It was not my intention for it to come across that the debate forum was Cambridge. As you know, sometimes in public speaking, when you are in a rush, you don't always articulate things in the best manner.
But it was too little too late. The cat was out of the bag. Pastor Glyn Barrett had told lies to his gullible congregation and he had been caught out".
And since there was nothing he could do to save himself, he casually set about destroying the evidence. He deleted the video; deleted his own explanation; deleted all the adverse comments, and apparently started sulking. (Three days later there had been no new activity on his Facebook page.)
and especially:

as well as:
https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2016/05/18/pastor-glyn-barretts-story-of-winning-a-fake-debate-against-atheists-isnt-even-original/
(the latter link shows that Barrett merely stole the lie from another shaman)

The video I cited wasn’t for the person but for the message the “story” was meant to educate on. You just proved his statement as fact. The range of your knowledge is limited to the circumference of the Internet within your lifespan, leaving the rest of the actual knowledge of the world unknown to you.
You can bash the man for making up a story to make a point but you can’t deny the messages validity because you don’t know shit.
Someday you’ll be faced with the fact that you are dying or a loved one is. You aren’t going to pray or go to church or give the doctor a hand job. Your going to cry and talk to yourself like their is another person in the room or in your head. By definition you’d be insane because your talking to yourself or you could be reaching out to a higher power as a last effort to save yourself or maybe that loved one you probably don’t have because you don’t seem capable of the blind faith that love requires. So you and your loved ones will just die.
I on the other hand will not set foot in a church but I know with utter certainty that god exists. I know that I don’t have to go to his house to talk to him or be in dire straights to want to discuss things.
But you got it all figured out and clearly have a mission to spread your misery and lack of hope for humanity on the Internet. Pardon me but thank God that bitches like you stay right where you are now and I hope you find your way at the last moment so he and I can look at you at the pearly gates and pretend that you don’t exist then put you in the place you earned.

@Porthos
His 'statement' was simply the tired old 'god of the gaps' argument. As Seth Fullerton points out, that's an example of the Argument from Ignorance fallacy. It's both pointless and meaningless, and is simply an attempt to wriggle out from the burden of proof.
It has no validity.
I don't know about 'bash', but I certainly criticise him for wilfully and cynically attesting to mislead people by knowingly issuing a self-serving falsehood.
You're way too late on that one.
That's correct... and indeed I didn't do any of those things.
In fact, I didn't do that, either. Why would I? What would be the point?

Your post makes me sick. You’re nothing but phony....a troll. Your horrible language, filthy name calling, and rough criticism of people, speaks volumes for someone who claims to know Christ. I can’t see how you would convince anyone under these circumstances, and who could blame them? None of it shows love. You do much more harm, than good. Your speech should reflect Christ and your commitment. After all, those who follow Christ, reflect His speech and character. Cursing is the language of the devil.

I still haven’t heard any valid point that disproves the statement made in the video or the possible exsistance of a godly being.
I guess you’ll be pleasantly relieved when you finally are done on this earth as a miserable person and begin you exsistance as worm feces.

I suppose it’s your outlook on the cycle of life or your dismissal of all things you haven’t experienced. You just seemed so closed minded I imagine a constipated person that eats the same meals weekly, never travels and has uses observations on her screen as her basis of all life.

I am the second most recent incarnation of an unbroken thread of successful replication that stretches back 3.5 billion years. Further, I share common genetic ancestry with every organism on the planet... indeed, with every organism that has ever lived on the planet.
Perhaps you mean my dismissal of claims around that which is unreasoned, for which there is no evidence, or which is postulated without compelling necessity.
