Some pholosophical thoughts to consider, if you wish:
There are two completely different modes of thought, Mr. Rice.  The "I
believe" mode, and the "prove it" mode.  We all have our own unique mixture
of those modes, but hey, that's one thing that makes us unique and 
ndividual.
We each make our own choices, (THAT SHOULD BE RESPECTED), *because* we are
individual/unique.
So, tell me why is it so imperative to "hound" a theist from echo to echo
and attempt to make them feel bad about their *personal* choice to believe
what they want to believe?
Is it because it is fun?  Is it, perhaps a "religious" need to hound those
who do not think the way you feel they MUST think?
Is it fair to look down on a person just because they have theistic
thoughts?
Are we not *ALL* human, and do we not ALL have a :*right*: to believe
what we wish?  Do we not all deserve to have our choices respected?
Theist and atheist can and do get along and respect each other's
choices, so it is POSSIBLE to achieve, yes?
