Very bad logic. One shouldn't waste time trying to prove a negative assertion.

I believe in a pink flying platypus with imense powers that is in another dimension influencing me to make bad decisions in life. So if you can't prove it doesn't exist and make claim it doesn't exist, then you are a hypocrit.

My recommendation is for you to read up on Galileo and the invisible crystalline structure on the moon. Then maybe you'll understand why the burden of proof should be on those who make the extraordinary claim.

I clarified what i meant in another post here it is:

You can't prove I am God, but can you prove I am not? If you cannot it means I am God according to that reasoning.

No you got it all wrong.

I cant prove you are god and i cant prove you arent god thus i cant prove anything; thus i get NO conclusion. Thus every religion is right because it is a belief (and yes atheism is a religion--because it too is a belief).

Thats why right now i dont have a religion and cant call myself an atheist or agnostic--because i jsut dont know what is right because there is no solid proof. I believe in morality and doing the right thing. I believe that every religion is right becaus each is a belief and beliefs are not wrong. But i believe it is wrong to say one religion is wrong--so in a sense i believe in beliefs 😕. Thats my point. Do you get it now?

Ah, thought you were defending religion with that kind of reasoning 🙂
That's why I consider myself an agnost. No one can give me proof of the existance of a God, but I cannot prove there cannot be one either. If someone is able to give me proof I am willing to believe, but until that time I might as well believe in millions of giant pink elephants circling the earth.
 
athiests, they would fight dirty since they have no religeon or morals. They are actually blood sucking vampires. And they will do anything to disprove god.
