"But what about all the people who believe something else? How do you know they're not right?"
There are variations on that question but they all mean the same thing and they're usually asked in a "Hah! Answer that!" tone. You know that one: annoying and agravating and arrogant. There is probably a smug look on his face. The person is sure that he has just asked the unanswerable question.
What I'd like to answer: "WHAT DO YOU THINK FAITH IS ALL ABOUT, YOU POMPOUS, ARROGANT MORON?!?!?"
That doesn't seem quite Christ-like, though, so I manage to refrain (even though I really hate that tone). The thing is, the questioner doesn't want an answer; he just wants to be right and has already decided that he has won. Any answer will be rejected with the words "Yeah, but what if you're wrong?" or "But how do you know?" or some such question.
The asking of the question usually signals the end of any real conversation.

Tell them if they think you are wrong to come up with some concrete proof to prove it. I told someone that and they have never come back with an answer yet.
