I didn’t read what you’ve said in this forum cause I’m sure that it is all non-sense. Could anyone prove that there is no God, could you? NEVER.

A: Existence is defined as being made of matter or energy (same thing, really). God is neither, otherwise he would- sorry, He would be detectable. As he is, by definition, not, he is also, by definition, nonexistent.
B: Your concept of God (assumedly the Christian God based on the demographic of most of these quotes) is horridly internally inconsistent.
C: All explanations of where God might fit in have naturalistic explanations, whether you're willing to accept them or not for religious convictions.
Have a nice day. :3

Often someone will present a concept and say that it must be accepted because it cannot be disproved. This is insufficient because without evidence there is no reason to accept an idea, even if there is no contrary evidence.
If one is making an exceptionally bold claim then exceptional evidence is expected in its support. Or as Carl Sagan said, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".
Could anyone prove that there is no Zeus, could you? NEVER.
You are not wrong, Sonic, it IS very hard to prove that something does not exist. Which is why we usually restrict ourselves to proving things that DO exist. The one producing the claim is the one responsible for proving its correctness. It's called Burden of Proof. That is why you don't have to prove your innocence in a trial, but it's the work of the prosecutor to prove your guilt. Your lawyer only has to present reasonable doubt. Which is also what we are doing here; if you can't disprove God, then you can't disprove Brahman or Quetzalcoatl, either.
I read flat-earth proofs.
I also read a long and involved 'proof' of why i, personally, am gay as a three dollar bill. I wasn't convinced and neither was my wife, but I was open to the possibility of a good argument. That wasn't a good argument.
I am constantly reading reasons why atheism is wrong. And remain an atheist. The denial in the OP makes it clear Sonic has no confidence in his choices, and he's just fucking terrified that there might be a moment of doubt if he reads a good argument.
Sad.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
