This is a logic 101 fail.
There are an infinite number of extraordinary claims that can't be proven not exist or be true. That doesn't mean they're worth considering.
You are accepting the burden of proof when it is not atheists' responsibility.
When is comes to existential claims, it is up to those making the claim to support it, it is not up to those rejecting the claim to prove it is not true.
And it certainly does not mean that the claim that a god exists, and the rejection of that claim have equal merit.
That maybe so, but why even argue about something that is not true, just to prove you are right, that is if the person doesn't come to you first and throws their belief of god onto you.
