Proving a negative
#1
Question 
Proving a negative
How do you respond do a deist asking you to prove there is no god? It is our belief that there is no such thing, but to the contrary proving a negative is impossible, right? How does one be a completely rational athiest? Hitchens showed me what is wrong with religion, something I already knew, a suffering and pain of humans that spans beyond human imagination. Dawkins taught me that when he said we are 99.99% correct in our disbelief according to the evidence that is enough to believe, but I am wondering about that small percentage, as a rationalist. The 0.0infinity-1% is relevant. Do you consider yourself a true believer? A true believer in knowing there is no god, trusting in the obvious reality of the simple moment of your life like a tightrope walker attempting to convert those that have become infected with the sick disease of disbelief.

You may believe this is dualistic rhetoric from a false prophet with a godless complex. However These are the questions that haunt me while I walk hills and flatlands, mountains and rivers, and any help from my human kind is welcome with open arms, for I know that it is just you, not a puppet master trying to clean up a mess of tangled spider web strings with a sunly(sic) sacrifice for the appeasement of his own sins (Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy -Matthew 5:7 and Deuteronomy 4:31 For the lord your god is a merciful god and therefore he shall performing erotic asphyxiation and blast his holy load on the face of humanity...)
