To the people saying that one can't be expected to prove God exists.
Yes you are expected, the burden of proof is on you. I cannot believe in something that has no evidence beyond personal revelation that is indistinguishable from hallucination. Saying "God talks to me!" is not convincing to anyone but yourself.
Atheism is simply the rejection of a positive claim (that God exists) because of the lack of evidence, nothing more. I will gladly believe in God if it can be demostrated to me with evidence. Sadly I've never seen or read about any such evidence and even the philosophical arguments seem inconsistent to me when you apply rudimentary logic and reasoning. So even the claims without evidence I find unconvincing.
Its not that I neccesarily despise God (though the monotheistic God does seem like an ass when you read his holy books), its simply that the positive claim doesn't have any convincing evidence.
