The Christian YouTube video producer [[shockofgodShockofgod]] declared: {{cquote|I received another email about someone becoming a [[Christian]] and [[Ex-atheists|leaving atheism]]... Now as you guys know, the atheist community on [[YouTube]] and also on radio and TV...They are in panic mode. It is obvious. Everyone on YouTube can see that this question that we are asking atheists that they cannot answer is really panicking the atheist community.... Here is the question and then we will get to these awesome emails of atheists leaving [[atheism]] because the atheists cannot provide proof and evidence that atheism is accurate and correct... The question is: What proof and evidence can you provide that PROVES that [[atheism]] is accurate and correct?...You see I left atheism because the lack of proof and evidence that it is accurate and correct. The [[Christian apologetics|proof and evidence is for Jesus Christ]]. The hostility I am getting over this question is unbelievable...It's like..picture this...Atheism is a clown and it didn't know it.

== Shockofgod, angry atheists and the incident of Patrick the singing leprechaun ==[[File:Shockofgod helmet.jpg|thumbnail|135px|right|Logo for the [[Shockofgod]] YouTube channel]]''See also:'' [[Essay: Shockofgod, angry atheists and Patrick the singing leprechaun|Shockofgod, angry atheists and Patrick the singing leprechaun]] In February of 2011, in the voice chat room of the popular video maker [[Shockofgod]], an [[atheism|atheist]] compared God to the mythical beings of leprechauns and demanded proof of the existence of leprechauns. As a result, a friend of Shockofgod's, using [[voice distortion box|voice changing software]], appeared in the room as Patrick the singing leprechaun and began singing the classic Irish song "When Irish eyes are smiling".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RusH-ndqZJc ''Leprechaun gets cussed out by angry atheists'']</ref>  As a result, some of the atheists in the room became extremely angry (see: [[Atheism and anger]]) and began to use profanity (see: [[Atheism and profanity]]). Shockofgod found this incident to be so humorous that he that laughed throughout the evening, laughed in his bed before retiring and woke up laughing as well.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RusH-ndqZJc ''Leprechaun gets cussed out by angry atheists'']</ref>  In his video entitled ''Leprechaun gets cussed out by angry atheists'', Shockofgod relays this humorous story. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RusH-ndqZJc ''Leprechaun gets cussed out by angry atheists'']</ref> == Other shockofgod Shockofgod quotes ==
