First, what qualifies as evidence, or proof, varies depending on the nature of the inquiry. Many of the atheist members seem unable or unwilling to recognize the differences.
Do you have any evidence at all that a god exists? Any at all? Or even a single reason to believe that one does? One reason. Got any of that? No? Exactly.

Turnabout is fair play. If you cannot defend materialism against challenges then your beliefs are unfounded. Those who evade the debate are intellectual cowards, i.e. pussies.
This thread started out as an ill-formed question and has turned into a thread where theists are talking out their asses. As an atheist, I have nothing to defend. You claim a god exists? I do not believe you. Can you show me some evidence to support that claim? No. Now stop being an asshat.

The bolded part is the only thing that is relevant to atheism. Don't be an idiot.
I have to leave work now. Have fun with your asshattery. I've said all I care to say for now.
