Atheists can satisfy themselves that given the lack of evidence to show God(s) exists the logical default is to believe that God(s) don't exist. As regards proving God doesn't exist why would anyone want to? Can a Christian prove Allah doesn't exist? Can a Muslim prove Shiva doesn't exist? No, and I likewise can't prove any given deity doesn't exist but unless evidence is put forward to show they do exist I feel that logically I would need to remain an atheist.

Don't have to prove the existence of something that doesn't exist.

It's the Christians who use : faith and belief and 'sure and certain hope' to try and prove God exists because quite simply they can't.

However, if believing in God makes your life easier then why the heck not.

That's rather your own statement of faith. God leaves clear evidence to christians and His witnesses.

Just like God (allegedly) leaves clear evidence to Muslims, Hindus, Pagans etc. etc. All religious ideologies claim to be right - not one of them has yet provided any solid evidence to show that they are.

The OP has it arse aboot tit, using the reverse argument technique.

It's not for non-believers or curious to prove there isn't a God, it's for the person who believes in God to prove there is a God.

Surely tae Hell ! (not that's there's actually a Hell !)

If God is so darned all powerful, why doesn't he pop in and say hello?

That would be infinitely preferable to his dropping the occasional large meteor on to the Earth causing unpleasant total life-on-Earth extinction events.

He / She /it has got the oddest sense of humour.
