So far many atheists are like "If he indeed is real then I hate him." in their minds.

Everytime in a debate I defeat one by saying there is basis for God unlike his fictional entities example by pointing towards really deep basis such as the fact God IS the beginning of the universe as he says "I am the alpha and omega" and to think about if he would even be able to see him with his own human eyes much less comprehend him. I also pointed to the basis that God has power over fate and there is strong proof of fate.

I told told out of cold honesty that suffering is allowed to happen because God condemned man to mortality for wanting to live life our own way and being sinful in nature until the end of days and renewal of the world. I also honestly stated that the people of sodom and gommorah deserved their fate. And the people who recounted it were warned by God to get out and the cave of the patriarchs burial site where they got interred proves them to be real people. Then he calls God "Cruel and Sadistic".

I also pointed to hard basis for a soul by using theory that if an exact perfect copy of your brain was made you would still be you while the other would have its own will and asked "What would make YOU "YOU" then and having your own free will?" Which points to strong evidence of a soul.

Any skeptic "explanation" of the sites where biblical events occurred they could try to explain "How" but never answer the "Why"(purpose). God can potentially use any "natural events" as tools to make it happen since he also has power over fate.

When one of them lost the debate he called God "Cruel and Sadistic" revealing his true thoughts of even if God did directly give a sign to these generations which he said he wouldn't in the bible. That no sign would be given to those who seek within future generations except that of the prophet Jonah. And Jonah's tomb is destroyed from being bombed by Muslims, could this be one of the signs of Jonah spoken of also?

We have free will but God decides whether it will get through and effect the world around us or whether something will happen to us suddenly that stops our non-approved action/effect.
