But I didn't actually make a claim, I just said I believe in the possibility of a god.
You were still attempting to shift the burden when you said, "However, you don't have any proof it doesn't either." Asking for evidence or claiming others have no evidence for a contrary claim implies that you are making one whether you intended to or not. We're a bit sensitive to that seeing as we get it from the theists quite regularly.
You seem to be a reasonable person though, something most theists can't claim, even though they try.
