God is a non falsifiable concept by definition and so his existence can never be demonstrated
Also I do not believe in anything and especially that for which there is absolutely no evidence

Sometimes theists will claim that the Universe is evidence of God but this is fallacious for two reasons
Firstly because it is a non sequitur and secondly because evidence by definition can never be absolute
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
