Many, myself included, content ourselves with the knowledge that the burden of proof is on the positive statement. But I was thinking about it further and hit upon the obvious proof that god, as the bible and the Church presents him, does not exist and cannot exist.
How? I’ve never been off this continent, much less in every place in the universe. So how do I know that god does not exist in a place I’ve never been?
Simple.
God, we are told, is omnipresent. But if there’s a place where god does not exist, then he is not omnipresent. I don’t have to go everywhere in the universe. All I have to do is find one place where god does not exist to prove that an omnipresent god does not exist anywhere.
Would you run that title by us again, I'm at a loss to see any proof from you or anyone else. You haven't the slightest idea what omnipresence means do you.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
