The fact that (according to you) it has never been seen, experienced via the senses, or known empirically, is your counter evidence -- the reason you put forward as sufficient to deny the claim. (Actually you are saying the same thing three times, but it still constitutes a reason.) So you are not just saying that the burden of proof is on the believer -- you are arguing back. This is what I think we should all do.

That's fine, but many of us place God in the same category as the FSM.

Yeah, which is kinda dumb, considering the FSM is a physical being whereas God (in the classical theist sense) is not.
