That would be considered shifting the burden of proof, which incidentally lies upon you to prove that a god does in fact exist.

Serial killers feel an overall positive effect from murdering their victims. That does not mean the feeling is morally positive.

Also, just because someone garners an overall positive feeling from something for which there is no evidence to support its existence does not mean that something automatically exists. Humans tend to be emotional beings who seem to love attributing good feelings as proof of something, when it is nothing more than an illogical emotional appeal.
