How arrogant that you (Talking to someone who would use this argument) Think it is MY job to prove to YOU that your god doesn't exist. Prove to me Pink unicorns don't exist. Can't? Then you should believe it because you can't rule it out!
You may think that example is a little extreme but I see no difference between "Prove to me god doesn't really exist" To "Prove to me lord voldemort doesn't really exist"
What are your thoughts on this argument? Do you use it? Has someone used it on you? Do you get as frustrated as I do?
Simply ask them what they expect, ask them what will constitute the proof. They will then give you the task of proving something that isn't possible to prove. And then you stand there and give them the "aha" stare until the light bulb goes on.

Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
