NB: Personal anecdotes, opinions and beliefs are not evidence.
I look forward to reading your evidence and reassessing my views on the matter.
Here's a random wikipedia link, apropos of nothing:

You're shifting the burden of proof. Taq made the claim; he needs to support it, or retract it. I thought atheists were supposed to know about the basics of reasoned discussion.
Nonsense. I'm talking directly to you.
Provide evidence that your god exists and we can move on from there. If you cannot provide evidence, that we all have as much reason to agree with Taq re: you being unable to provide evidence.
I say I can fly around the earth in 2 seconds akin to that of superman. I don't provide evidence for it, but we get into discussions about how you not being able to refute my claim leads you to have no argument against my proposition. Absurd, no?
I find it ironic that you would post a WIKI link on an argument from ignorance as well...
