Is it any different than saying I dismiss all existing evidence of God's existence and the burden of proof lies upon the theist to provide new evidence I can't possibly dispute?
What evidence?
There is no evidence.
Evidence is something that can be verified, tested, and reproduced under the same conditions multiple times.
There is nothing even remotely like that for any god. All there are are books with spurious ludicrous claims and assertions of truth from believers. That's it.
If you take that as evidence, then that's fine. But you can't expect others to just bow down and accept it as 'the troof'. We'll just have to conclude that we, as skeptics, have set the bar for evidence far, far higher than you.
