The short one
B: Do you know that P = Q ?
NB: Can you prove it?
B: Why don't you disprove it?
NB: But you said it was true, so prove it!
B: Ha ha - prove it wrong friend or else accept that it is true
The classic one
B: I think X = Y
NB: But we have absolutely no explanation or evidence to support this
B: It has been divinely ordained
NB: But even in a court of law, they require evidence
B: Friends, we are talking about something much much above these trivial institutions.
How dare you compare HIS wisdom with that of a mere judge in a court of lawThe most popular one
B: Don't you feel the presence of the Almighty, all around you??
NB: I tried my best but I really do not experience anything out of normal.
B: There must be something wrong with you. Only those who have true faith & surrender to the lord are able to feel HIS presence.
About omnipotence
B: Don't you know that GOD is omnipotent and infinitely powerful?
NB: Oh! Does that mean GOD has decided what is going to happen in your future?
B: Of course! We live only according to HIS will.
NB: But if he has decided your future, this means that he cannot change it - so how can you call
HIM infinitely powerful? B: No HE can change it if he wants to
NB: But that means HE is not sure whether HE is going to change it or not.
B: Oh these things are beyond your puny intelligence. Let's talk of something else.
About omnipresence
NB: Where is HE?
B: Oh HE exists everywhere
NB: Then why do you want to go to Tirupati to worship Balaji - you can do so right here in the Balaji temple in our town.
B: No but Tirupati is a more auspicious location
NB: But I thought you just said that HE is everywhere. Then why is his temple at Tirupati more auspicious than at Nagpur?
B: Oh you don't understand what spirituality is all about.
NB: What has this got to do with spirituality?
B: There is no point in talking to an illiterate like you.
About our purpose on earth
NB: Do you think all of us have a pre determined purpose of getting born on earth?
B: Of course! HE has sent us on earth with a specific purpose
NB: What could have been HIS purpose in case of the people who got killed in the tsunami
B: Oh HE works in HIS own mysterious ways.
About prayers
NB: Why do you pray so often?
B: To pay my respects, ask HIM for success and happiness & to reduce my hardships
NB: But HE has already decided to give you those hardships so why will he change HIS mind
now just because you are pleading through your prayers?
B: But I must regularly pay HIM my respects by worshiping HIM?
NB: Does HE demand worship and prayers? And will HE listen to only those who pray?
B: Everyone is equal in HIS eyes.
NB: So why pray? If your intentions are good and you are leading a good moral life, HE is
watching you and will automatically reward you
B: I am not going to continue this pointless discussion.
NB: Ok, how are you sure that HE is listening to your prayers?
B: Oh, he has HIS own ways of letting me know about that.
NB: But then if I pray how will I be sure that my prayers have reached HIM? I need some
advice from you because you have been regularly praying to HIM.
B: You start praying first and you will start receiving HIS signals.
The bizarre one
NB: How does HE decide when two competing devotees want their wishes fulfilled?
NB: If that is true, how are politicians and their cronies able to corner most government
contracts?
The clincher
NB: Do you really think that HE will look after you?
B : Of course HE will. He is powerful enough to take care of all his creations
NB : If he is really all that powerful, why do we lock temples. Can't HE look after HIMSELF?

For a non-believer, how come if he/she questions, he/she is an illiterate or incapacitate to understand about the X factor? Or the inability to answer these queries, by the believers, is actually the reason as to why they discard the eyebrows raised on the simple things that they claim to believe.
Non Believers are weak from within, always behind the veil. They are Negative & always likes to criticize the facts & finds difficult to accept the facts that:
"GOD IS THE SUPERNATURAL POWER, HE IS OMNIPRESENT,AND WE LIVE ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, IN THE CENTER OF HIS HANDS, FEELING SECURED & PROTECTED EVEN AFTER BEING ALL ALONE, HE HAS SPECIAL PLAN FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL.
WE ARE MADE IN IMAGE OF GOD, IF OUR WORLDLY PARENTS LOVE US, CARES FOR THEIR CHILDREN, THEY’LL NEVER GIVE MUD, STONES & THORNS TO HIS CHILD, WHEN ASKED FOR FOOD… THEN WHAT WILL GOD GIVE US? WHY DO WE DOUBT GOD’S LOVE FOR HUMANS?"
God doesn’t need temple to stay in, doesn’t want us to make & pray statues..People lock temples because they have made God & HIS presence Materialistic & Worldly. We fear theft of precious Jewelry & Money in the temple.
GOD IS MYSTERIOUS, THEREFORE HE IS GOD… WHEN HUMANS ARE CRITICIZED & IGNORED, WHEN PEOPLE SPEAK AGAINST US, WE ARE HURT… TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE WE NEED EMPATHY, BUT TO UNDERSTAND WE NEED TO HAVE HUMANITY.
A PERSON FULL OF HOPE, FAITH & LOVE…
MAY GOD BLESS & BE WITH ALL THE NON-BELIEVERS & MAY THEIR HEARTS BE ENLIGHTEN BY THE TRUTH OF HIS (GOD’S) PRESENCE.
Dear Prakash,
I am a regular visitor to your Blog , I find it very interesting , though I don't agree with it completely .
I feel this is a great service to the society by a highly qualified and experienced person .
Wish to see you in person when I visit Nagpur next !
Regards ,
Suresh S Bhalerao
I felt the whole blog a bit childish and not an advancement in any substantive way for a B to consider becoming a NB.

God is mysterious so he is god. when human criticized and ignored, when people speaks against us. we are hurt. so to understand people we need empathy but to understand we need to have humanity. Very good post thanks for sharing. career consultant
