Atheists... why do you believe that God doesn't exist?

I can't know with 100% certainty (although I'm quite sure I have no supernatural abilities).

But, you have two problems where I have only one.

A: The reverse applies just as strongly. You can't know that you're right any more than I can know you're not.

B: The likelihood of your claim is vastly smaller than mine. I don't have to resort to supernatural explanations to bolster a negative claim. If we were discussing the existence of anything other than your god, you wouldn't try so hard to defend it because the lack of any actual evidence of its existence would make it an untenable position to take.
