Okay, seriously, what was that last sentence for?
A joke, therefore: the winky 
He said you should only become atheist if you have proof, but there's no proof for atheism (or theism, for that matter). I found that funny.
At first I thought, hey, I missed another joke but that's so incredibly, blatantly not true that I think you're just falling back on the "I was just joking" escape, because
he didn't say that. He didn't say that and your previous response to him indicates that you
knew that. You said:
I also had to laugh at "if you're going to convert an Atheist, you'd better bring proof", because there is no proof that there is no God (there's occams razor and other logic, but not "proof")
Which means that you understood that what he said was that:
if you're going to convert an Atheist, you'd better bring proof
not:
you should only become atheist if you have proof
Because that's not what he said at all. In fact, his entire sharpie post indicates to me that the reason for no longer believing in God was not proof that there was none but overwhelming lack of proof that there was, and a deep interest in finding out what was right scientifically (which is admirable, incidentally). And then you responded to his question in a manner that makes it pretty obvious you knew what he was saying. So, uh, yeah, I'm calling bullshit. Either you're totally blind to both his argument
and yours or you realized you messed up and you're trying to pull damage control by pretending you were joking.
