Then why demand that atheists disprove your god if you cannot do the same to other gods?

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

I take it that you're just trolling. These forums have already seen far too many of those.

You like to pick on Christians don't you. I suppose picking on someone your own size is no fun...
Our own size? I see you seem to have forgotten that religion is by far and away the majority of the human species. Whatever your religion is, to say that Christians have fewer followers than we do is moronic at best.
And if you were instead implying that Christians are the majority, I see nothing wrong with challenging an oppressive, vastly larger group.
Quite possible? Yes, it is. We don't typically have issues with quiet belief. What we despise so gleefully and correctly insult is the idiocy you have displayed by asserting that a post clearly intended to question the existence of a specific god was instead poorly refuting all religion. Atheists have no quarrel with a non-existent god, (and I say non-existent not because it can never be real, but because it has never been proven), our conflict is with theists who attempt to use their unsupported dogma to influence the real world.
What falls away is always, and is near.

I was not referring to literal size or number of members, I was referring to the fact that Christianity is an easy target due to the Bible making numerous claims contrary to scientific consensus. Picking holes in the bible is child's play, which is why this forum is focused on bashing Christians and their 'God'.

I don't agree with you, ergo I must be trolling. This is typical atheist logic, anyone who doesn't see how right you are must be a)stupid b)trolling.

Nope, I just think your behaviour is very trollish. Also I think you're a troll who's been banned here before.

You'd like to offer up a religion that doesn't make numerous claims contrary to scientific consensus? Or perhaps a religion that is somehow a "harder target" than christianity?

Arguing for argument's sake is not the same as debate and, though possibly superficially amusing, is ultimately pointlessly irritating; viz :

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
