...Have you ever been behind the sun? So how do you know that my God isn't behind the sun?? There is no way you can wiggle out of it, either...you've never been behind the sun, so you simply don't know...plain and simple...so for you to sit there and make these absolute statements, these claims of knowledge, is fallacious.
That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Again, these are the rules we play by in every area of life outside your favorite religious beliefs. Otherwise, you would be compelled to consider countless possibilities that you have no time to consider.
A man who hears voices or speaks to people who aren't there is considered to be crazy. It's not required that we prove the voices aren't real unseen spirits or that there isn't an invisible bunny rabbit to put such a man away.
It's called "the null hypothesis". X is assumed to not exist until proven otherwise. It is always within the bounds of rational skepticism to say "X doesn't exist" where there is no evidence for X. Those who believe in X are compelled to provide evidence for X's existence. Saying "Oh yeah, well prove X doesn't exist" is a classic shifting of the burden of proof.

Yes. And so have you, moron. In fact the whole planet goes around it EVERY FUCKING YEAR.

Perhaps he means like in that horrible movie Gamera vs Guiron. Same orbit but on the other side of the sun.

Perhaps behind the moon then? Ooooh, I know! The face on the moon!
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

H_M is seriously positing a god that hides behind the Sun? Just because he can't think of a way to demonstrate that it exists outside his book and his head? Why are we still listening to this guy? He's about two steps away from ricky's territory at this point.
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.'

I'll jump in and say this before someone else does. We've been around the Moon thousands of times in the last forty-odd years. Not us personally, but astronauts and sundry unmanned vehicles. It's at least as plausible a hiding place as any, though.

There are three arguments we get from Christians pretty regularly. One is some version of "two billion people can't be wrong" and the other is some version of "but most of them aren't True Christians."
The third argument is some version of Pascal's Wager, which is particularly hilarious in light of the tens of thousands of different versions of Christianity alone. So no, they can't be right. There might not even be a scenario in which half of them are right. But all of them could definitely be wrong.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Nah, the only thing on the dark side of the moon, apart from the obvious, is a crashed cow after it crashed . . .

There is no dark side of the moon, as a matter of fact, it's all dark.
