WLC: "You can't prove the negative"

[Neo-Scholastic]

It seems as if you've had many such experiences. Mine have been different.

Noticed his evasion? Root cause is his dishonesty.
Bel does not like others to throw around their ideas unchallenged. Quod licet Bel non licet bovi.

IRL I do not talk about religion with strangers and have also never heard a believer huff and say you cannot prove god doesn't exist. But it is a commonly reported experience among AF membets. YMMV What I can say is that every time I hear the story told, "you cannot prove god exists" happens at the end of the debate. And to me, it sounds like an exasperated theist wanting to be left alone by an incessent preachy athiest, as in "Guy, you don't know everything and have to be right all the time."
