I can prove a negative, how about the mutilation and mental destruction of the millions of child-victims of the church, one would be bad enough but millions?

Ok genkaus, I see your point, but I don't agree with it, here's why.

If you reacted the same way to claims of unicorns and pots of gold at the end of rainbows and the chuppacabra, ufos, bigfoot, yeti, (insert other mythical creatures i can't come up with right this second), then you'd be consistent. You'd also be extremely busy. If you do not react the same way then perhaps you want to ask yourself why does god, having the same amount of evidence as ll the creatures listed so far, warrants your attention more than these creatures?

Meanwhile, there are important things to learn like economics, science, politics, history, music. Not to mention people to hang out with, places to go, food to experience, things to invent, art to do.

Your time is limited. What do you want to spend it on?
