Atheists Are All Defeated
Srila Prabhupada solidly defeats atheism in the following conversation he had with Dr. Wolf on June 25, 1975 in the garden of ISKCON Los Angeles:
Prabhupada: ...is not knowledge. If the tenant thinks that "This apartment is mine, I am owner," then he is wrong. If he knows perfectly well that it belongs to the landlord, "I have given for use," then it is knowledge.
Dr. Wolf: Srila Prabhupada, and the tenant can be easily evicted.
Prabhupada: Yes. Evicted. At that time he knows the owner. (laughter) When he is kicked out. That is stated also in the Bhagavad-gita. Mrityu sarva-haras caham [Bg. 10.34]. Those who are not believing in God, to them God will come one day as death, "Now believe Me. Get out!" Finished. All your pride finished. Your pride, your property, your family, your bank balance, your skyscraper building—all taken away. "Finished. Get out." This is God. Now understand God? To believe or not believe, God will come one day. He will take you, take your everything, and "Get out!" That is God. You believe or not believe. It doesn't matter.
The same example, the tenant may not believe the landlord, but when the landlord will come with court's order, "Get out," then you have to go out. That's all. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, that "Those who are not believer in God, to them I come as death and take away everything, finished." That one has to believe, "Yes, as sure as death." Then God is sure. You may challenge so long you have got little life for a few years, (laughter) but God will come and drive you away from your present pride, prestigious position, "Get out."
So unless one is madman, he cannot say, "There is no God." Anyone who denies the existence of God, he is a madman.
Dr. Wolfe: Prabhupada, wouldn't it be better to say he is blind, he is stupid?
Prabhupada: Yes, the same thing. Mad is the sum total of all stupidity.
(laughter) When I say mad, it is the sum total of all kinds of stupidity.

Question: Why Are Theists Afraid of Atheists?
Why do theists think that atheists are such a threat to their beliefs?Anonymous
Answer: They Are Not!
Enlightened theism is not based on belief. It is based on science. Therefore such theists do not at all feel threatened by the non-scientific dogma of atheism. All of our atheist friends (the poor ignorant fools) will be solidly defeated when God comes to them in the form of death and takes away everything that they have.Sankarshan Das Adhikari
