P.S. I am wondering if you are aware that your signature proudly champions a very basic logical fallacy, and whether or not you care. It's fine if you don't, of course; it's just weird that you parade it so proudly. (That is, "God does not exist. Unless there is evidence to prove otherwise.")

@Ace: He's right.

One of the more common logical fallacies. A form of argument from ignorance: IE that "absence of evidence is evidence of absence" .

The argument from ignorance, also known as argumentum ad ignorantiam ("appeal to ignorance" [1]), argument by lack of imagination, or negative evidence, is a logical fallacy in which it is claimed that a premise is true only because it has not been proven false, or is false only because it has not been proven true.

It's not that I claim there is no god, it's that I don't believe in such a thing due to lack of evidence. So I dismiss the claim.

With respect Ace, that is not what your signature actually says .

You signature does not assert "I do not believe" It asserts "There is no god" THAT is a claim not merely a statement of disbelief, and leaves you with the burden of proof. A claim of lack of evidence does not meet the burden of proof.
