Prove that fire-breathing dragons don't exist. ("just semantics" is a cop-out. Literally all disagreement is just semantics)....

I'm not making any more of a claim that God doesn't exist than you are that fire-breathing dragons don't exist. To expect either of us to prove either 'claim' is absurd.

Lol what the fuck is a pseudo-skeptic? Skepticism isn't about absolute denial, or trying to prove a negative, it's about being skeptical. It seems to me that it's you who wants me to be a pseudo-skeptic, so you can knock down a strawman.

Yet you and every other theist here seems to fail miserably every single time when asked to produce evidence of the god you believe in. 

Dodgy

He's wrong too of course. For every claim there is the claim that the claim isn't true, and for both the affirmation and negation of all claims... one is the null hypothesis and the other isn't.

Evidence would be required for both positions if one was any more than a claim to the fact that one has the null hypothesis when one indeed does... the point is that if all you're saying is that you have the null hypothesis, and you're right, then the other side needs the evidence.

I'm not saying that because I have the null hypothesis then my position must be correct and the other position must be false because it can't prove that it's right. THAT would be the argument from ignorance. Instead I'm saying that because I have the null hypothesis... I have the null hypothesis... and the opposite position... doesn't.
