STILL missing the old avatar- if you bring it back, I'll play with you a little bit.

"If God exists, all is His will and from His will I cannot escape. If not, it's all my will and I am bound to show self-will."

"Self-will? But why are you bound?"

"Because all will has become mine. Can it be that no one in the whole planet, after making an end of God and believing in his own will, will dare to express his self-will on the most vital point? It's like a beggar inheriting a fortune and being afraid of it and not daring to approach the bag of gold, thinking himself too weak to own it. I want to manifest my self-will. I may be the only one, but I'll do it."

"Do it by all means."

"I am bound to shoot myself because the highest point of my self-will is to kill myself with my own hands."

"But you won't be the only one to kill yourself; there are lots of suicides."

"With good cause. But to do it without any cause at all, simply for self-will, I am the only one."
The Devils by Fyodor Dostoesvky.

Dead Horse 4 Horsemen

Sure, I'll kill myself. It's worth it because then I can see whether the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland is the one true god.

For a contrary opinion to the OP, I suggest Camus's "The Myth of Sysiphis" (sp)

I think the person making the positive claim is the one who should prove it. By killing himself.

Never heard of that one, though I have read some Camus, but I suspect you mean "Sisyphus" as in the boulder guy. I genuinely read your comment as "The Myth of Syphillis".
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.'

And what point would atheist suicide prove?
I think about suicide all the time but it's not to prove some sort of point lol.

Manifest your self will, as long as you don't kill yourself it remains the will of God and from His will you cannot escape.

Dostoyevsky is one of my favorite authors...partially for his characters. You know, fictional people.

Don't let this post deter you from reading his works. Great author. Lots of well developed (sometimes too much so) characters that can be hard to keep track of with their Russian names but otherwise, fabulous books.
