Define winning.

I could win why there is no god but many people can not accept this since it would literally destroy them with this belief, hence reject it as self protection. That's just how humans work.

Bringing me back to the question. What even is 'winning an argument'?

(If you feel the urge to downvote: go ahead but ask yourself - do you feel threatened?)

It's as simple as asking why over and over. Toddlers do it.

What is? Me or them?

Asking is natural and usually makes you know more about the world, it's what science is built on.

I meant you can win an argument against theism by just asking why repeatedly.
