Remember God makes that claim. The responsiablity to proove what He has claimed is on Him.
I'm not approaching anybody. You were the one who said "God is proof of God" and nobody asked you to do so; I certainly didn't, so please don't try that one on me, there's a good chap. In order to be able to say that God is the one making the claim (that God exists? Or something else?) you have to be claiming that it exists in the first place. Unless and until this God shows up and says the words you put into its mouth, the burden of backing up that claim is still on you.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
