One will not see evidence of God nor can I prove there is one. By the same token you cannot prove there is NOT a God.
You cannot use human rational thought in order to categorize God to fit your way of thinking. God exceeds human references; particularly emotions.
As to God making sense to you, only goes to prove the point you really do not understand life and why we are here.

Nor do you.
"Whatever the Church holds to be the truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality, the evidence of God, except by looking through the eyes of the Church. That is the fact that you have got to relearn, Winston. It needs an act of self-destruction, an effort of the will. You must humble yourself before you can become godly."

Ah, good to know that we agree that there is no reason to believe in a god, then. Oh wait, you do, though...

Indeed not, we cannot. However, we are not required to prove it: only the one claiming the existence of anything is required to give proof of it. The default position on any problem should be exactly that: it does not exist, unless proven otherwise.
"One will not see evidence of God nor can I prove there is one."
Okay... But then you say things like:
"God exceeds human references; particularly emotions."
How do you know this to be true? Prove THAT, since you feel confident in saying it is a fact.
"One will not see evidence of God nor can I prove there is one."
Then why believe there is one?

You seem to be having a bit of trouble with the concept of burden of proof.
Most atheists simply do not believe there is a god, rather than believing there is no god.
"You cannot use human rational thought in order to categorize God..."
Well, we don't have anything else to work with. We are humans. We think about things in human terms.
"As to God making sense to you, only goes to prove the point you really do not understand life and why we are here."
One would think that some omniscient, omnipotent being would be capable of explaining itself in a way that makes sense. And an omnibenevolent would wish to do so.
I don't have to prove anything about an invisible friend. I'm an atheist. We don't go door to door distributing blank pamphlets and trying to convert people to atheism. I understand life and "why we are here", but I do not understand the widespread delusion that some entity outside of this earth cares what happens to any of us.

One will not see evidence that I know the lottery numbers for a drawing in 2041, nor can I prove that I know the lottery numbers for a drawing in 2041. By the same token you cannot prove that I do NOT know the lottery numbers for a drawing in 2041.
So get down and pray to my knowledge.

I am an Alicorn
I am ama~zing
I command you to
Gaze upon my flank
You'll never find somepony
Charming as I am
I'm the swankiest and highest rank
I'm a star
I'm a god
I'm a thing to behold
There are none as resplendent as I
With my beautiful wings
And a horn that fells kings
Of my majesty none can deny
Don't make me get out my Flying Spaghetti Monster, JR 'Bob' Dobbs, Eris, Cthulhu, Invisible Pink Unicorn , Haruhi Suzumiya, Ceiling Cat...! [/'Teach the Controversy']
Princess Celestia. Amaterasu/Kwannon. Amun-Ra/The 'Aten'. You'll recognise the latter, OP. Of course you do: the invention of Akhenaten.
The pioneer of Mono theism.
Argue against his 'Light of the World', it brings into serious question the existence of yours . Who are you to say that your particular deity wasn't purely the invention of Bronze Age goatfuckers with ideas above their stations: whilst off their tits on industrial-strength hallucinogens? Revelation in your great work of fiction : the BuyBull. Q. E. and fucking D.
At least we can see Princess Celestia. /)^3^(\
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
