metmom has asserted, referring to the Holy Spirit, that I can’t even breathe without it, which is obviously a falsehood, since billions of unbelievers, who have not the Holy Spirit, continue breathing.

So where else do you contend that life comes from?

You think it can exist independent of God?

God sends rain on the just and the unjust, the righteous and unrighteous.

How is it a stretch to think that He sustains life even in unbelievers?

He DOES want them to come to a knowledge of salvation. Would it be inconsistent for Him to sustain their lives to give them every opportunity they can possibly have to do so?

God is not like us, being good to those who love Him and not good to those who do not love Him.

Read the Beatitudes some time.

What do you think you have that you have not been given as a gift from God?

No, I do not. I assert that life comes from God the Father, which is who that verse refers to. You are posting verses about God the Father, then mistakenly asserting that they refer to the Holy Spirit. I am simply not accepting the confusion that you seem to be operating under.
