What i find frustrating sometimes is that many skeptics feel that when they disprove the bible that it somehow proves their point god doesn't exist. In other words they are throwing out the principles of science out the door the same as religionists.

It is reasonable and quite acceptable in my opinion to state that the preponderance of evidence does not support the existence of god as christians believe, but it doesn't in any way provide proof that "god" doesn't exist.

When there's inherent contradictions in the concept of the god being proposed, then the issue of it being 'real' is moot.

Indeed, I don't reject 'all' gods because, surely, I don't know about all gods that could be proposed.

I reject the abrahamic/(indeed all gods) thus far proposed however because there is no evidence, and the claims of the proponents are almost always self-defeating.

But as above, 'science' doesn't care one iota about gods. It's not there to disprove gods, that is not its mandate. It just so happens, in the course of 'its' existance, to debunk the commonly held mythologies that go hand in hand with god worship. Nothing more.
