Welcome to AF.
When your only claim is "I'm don't believe in gods, the existence of whom nobody has produced any compelling and legitimate evidence", what, exactly, are we burdened with proving?
When you claim is "I am sure that my specific God exists and that he has done these very specific things", then you are burdened with proving that God's existence as well as proving that your God did all the things you insist he did.
We're looking for the right answers. You're just sitting there thinking you've already got them, which strikes me as a really weird confidence in conclusions drawn by some of the least-enlightened and knowledgeable human beings to have ever existed.
