False propositions do not clever retorts make, rdean. It is a false proposition to state that you can prove God does not exist.
It is also a logical contradiction if you state you can prove that God cannot exist. You can't. You have faith that God does not exist, because that is what you wish to believe. Another attempt is to suggest that God's existence can be disproven by man's logical ability. This too is a contradiction. To suggest that man can prove or disprove the existence of God is based on hubris, not good philosophy.
Now, however, you can prove the humbugs exist. Dorothy did that with the wizard behind the curtain. And where you draw curtains aside to reveal the humbug, good for you, rdean. But the day will come when you will attempt to draw the curtain aside only to find that you have revealed God to you in His presence. That will be a day you will forever remember. And, on that day, you will remember this conversation.
