You need to get off your ad nauseum and get to work.
I explained this to rondee just a page back. Did you not read that page? Well, i will say it again:
Atheists do not claim a god does not exist, we claim we do not believe a god exists. Do you see the difference? We are simply reacting to theist claims.
Theists claim that a god does exist. You claim that you know he exists. The burden of proof is on you to prove your extraordinary claim, it is not up to us to try and disprove you.
I would add a stupid example about unicorns or goblins or something but i get the feeling that what i have just said has been repeated to you many times and that you ignore it completely every time

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
